Texas time This is a response to Gov. Ben

Cayetano's stance on Car] Richie' s case ("Free Carl Richie!" HW, 7/9).

Gov. Cayetano said transcripts of the trial were pointed out!o him, and this convinced him Mr. Richie engaged in prostitution. The Governor did not refer to any specific part of the transcript. He did not mention the fact that two undercover officers wore concealed audio tapes at the "bachelor party ." Both audio tapes do not have any offer of sex by Mr. Richie. None of the lap dancers testified at trial , and none were convicted of prostitution.

fu fact, there was no agreement by Mr. Richie or any of the lap dancers to prostitution. Mr. Richie provided lap dancing for two undercover officers, one of whom is facing federal charges that he provided information to a drug kingpin.

The article says the Governor felt if Mr. Fukusaku (a person convicted of two murders) could have his lawyer write an appeal while Mr. Fukusaku was in Texas, so could Mr. Richie's attorney. Unlike Mr. Fukusaku, Mr. Richie has never met his appellate lawyer, and Mr. Richie was transferred to Texas before a lawyer was appointed to him.

Additionally, Mr. Richie was not convicted of a violent crime, and there was no need to transfer him to Texas before obtaining an appellate attorney.

INDEPENDENT, LOCALLY OWNED

The Governor did not address the RICO (racketeering) offense for which Mr. Richie received a 10-year prison sentence. A lone person can not be convicted of being "organized crime" or racketeering. The law requires an organization - an enterprise which involves a number of persons. Not a shred of evidence exists in the transcripts that Mr. Richie is an organized crime figure or had associates who were organized crime figures.

There is also the matter of double jeopardy. Mr. Richie was convicted of two offenses for the same acts. Gov. Cayetano did not consider or refer to transcripts to support this.

There were many other serious constitutional violations that occurred at Mr. Richie's trial. These matters will be decided by the Hawai 'i Supreme Court. Unfortunately, Mr. Richie will probably serve several years in a Texas prison before the decision is made.

Mask of desperation Always bad news, always com

plaints, here's a spot of humor, just for the fun of it.

Complaints about traffic, it's all I hear ("Approaching Gridlock" HW, 10/15). One of the bummers of our everyday lives. But there are a few things one can do to break up the monotony.

Each morning I get in my car to drive over the Pali. I start her up, tum on Barry Manilow full blast, smile and feel so smug that I have a comfortable, cozy car to traverse the miles in. I pull my 'rig' out into the mainstream highway, and within minutes my smile has turned to chagrin, then to dismay, then to full tilt, "Oh Christ, is this all my life is made up of? Is this all there is left, driving all day, getting to the·same old work, to trying to make a living with the same old crappy job?

Getting absolutely no sympathy from my fellow commuters, I have little else to do but resort to desperation. I pull out one of my many pullon rubber kid-masks that I have stolen from my son's room. I stealthily slip the mask over my face, look at what an idiot I am in the rear view, and proceed driving on my normal rou- · tine. I most like the rat or the mouse nose, but the pig snout seems to get the most laughs from the people I tum and wave to.

I learned this valuable, coping skill from Uncle Jene, who was famous for driving throughout Kailua with a 4-inch safety pin stuck through his nose. So, when you have those everyday traffic blues and you're just feeling down, my motto is: "When in doubt, whip out your snout."

Full disclosure Surely journalistic integrity requires

that editorial cartoonists make some attempt to check their "facts" and convey an accurate impression, just as writers are supposed to do.

Pritchett obviously did not do so before drawing his grossly insulting and inaccurate cartoon of Judge Patrick Yim with Henry Peters (HW, 9/3).

Had he done so, he would have found that Judge Yim's reputation for honesty and integrity is of the highest order.

His former colleagues on the bench, his present colleagues in alternative dispute resolution, and counsel and litigants who have appeared

Pritchett r. w i II run for ,governor.·.

1 won't ru.n for 9overnor -r w i II \rV t\ . . . .

before Pat Yim are virtually universal in their praise of him as a straightforward, fair-dealing, totally incorruptible man of uncommon common sense. Even those who have had occasion not to agree with his decisions go out of their way to praise his integrity.

Before Judge Yim' s appointment as Fact Finder, he filed with the Court over three pages of fulJ disclosure, detailing with rare and refreshing candor every possible "connection" he might be deemed to have with KS/BE, no matter how minor or indirect.

His relationship with Peters (through Peters' stepmother) was included.

Obviously, both the Court and the others concerned with the appointment were confident that Judge Yim would act in a totally unbiased manner, and there is absolutely no reason to believe otherwise now. Indeed, the fact that Judge Yim put alJ that time and effort into disclosing such full detail is in itself resounding evidence of his integrity.

Pritchett owes an apology both to Judge Yim and to the public which he has attempted to deceive with his cartoon.

Jim Hoenig

Supply side David Frankel's query in his recent

''Revitaliz.ation or Degeneration?"column ("Honolulu Diary," HW, 10/8), "Since consumer prices are dictated by supply and demand, how will consumers benefit from corporate tax breaks?" finds an answer in Econ 101.

Supply does not exist in a vacuum. Cost reductions, such as those resulting from reduced corporate taxes, tend to increase the quantity of the goods or services supplied, since it is now cheaper to produce more

output for the same total cost, which lowers unit cost. This further encourages additional output in the near term.

Over a little longer period of time, lower unit cost tends to lower price relative to the existing demand, except in rare cases of extreme demand inelasticity. Eventually, this can lead to increased demand, as consumers substitute the now cheaper item for others. This is how consumers benefit from cost reductions: They get to consume more at a lower price. For the tourist industry, for example, it can encourage more visitors to choose a Hawai 'i vacation over another destination. This brings additional resources into Hawai 'i, which

eventually benefits all, although that is another subject.

Although I do enjoy your paper, I am often annoyed at the lack of understanding of economic phenomena exhibited in many of your articles and opinion pieces. It doesn't help your circulation and advertisers, not to mention your readers, to display a lack of understanding of how the real world works.

Dese and Dems The greying, thinning ranks of the

party faithful gathered for the Democrats' statewide "grass-roots" conference on Oct 25 to, among other things, ask their governor: "How do you do the voodoo that you do to me?" Present during the early part of the meeting, Gov. Ben Cayetano showed his stripes by opposing increased surcharges on the wealthy as "great rhetoric" that would actually yield little revenue for the beleaguered state.

Cayetano and his so-called "economic revitalization" plan were not well-received at the grass-roots meeting; one speaker decried the Governor's task force (right - the one dominated by folks who got us into this mess to begin with) as "Reaganite trickle-down voodoo economics."

When Bart Dame, long a light on the party's left, demanded to know whether politicians are "Democrats or crypto-Republicans," denounced party "complicity" with big business, and insisted that "those who benefit from globalization share the burden more," there were cries of "right on" and applause from the assembled. Another speaker asserted, "When I see Cayetano, [House speaker Joe] Souki and Senate president [Norman] Mizuguchi in bed with the economic task force Republican-corporate types, proposing to cut truces for millionaires ... we have to rebuild the party from the top down, not bottom up. It needs new leadership."

About 300 people half-filled Farrington High 's auditorium with members of a party plagued by declining membership. These representatives of the group's more activist wing prodded Democrats to recall their philosophical roots and "proud history."

The grass-roots Dems gathered to debate and vote on a number of legislative and party issues. While the outcome is non-binding on the party platform, candidates, and elected/ appointed officials, conference chair and former party chair Richard Port cited examples of initiatives from the 1993 and 1995 grass-roots conferences that were enacted into law, such as legislation regarding the "High 3" pension plan and car insurance rates.

The final speaker before the voting was Sen. Norman Sakamoto, who injected a cold note of 1997 reality into party politics. "I'm a businessman. Maybe I should be in a different party. I admit I'm not a liberal Democrat," he said.

The senator went on to argue that while goals such as expanded social services and economic breaks for low-income people, advanced by conference participants, might be worthy, this is not an opportune period for government support, given the state's hard times.

In your FACE Monks, ministers, priests and their

followers mingled at the CoCathedral of St Theresa in Kalihi on

Oct 25, cementing the bonds formed by the Faith in Action for Community Equity organization. FACE, formed to seek better conditions in underserved communities such as Kalihi, brings together neighborhood residents and church members, and currently counts 17 congregations and the Kalihi Valley Homes Residents Association as members.

The organization chose new officers at the meeting, which boasted some of the exuberance of a revival meeting and some of the island flavor of a gathering of Pacific peoples. In between the songs and rituals, some serious allusions to trouble in "Paradise" were dropped.

"The Governor has convened an economic task force to decide what's best for you," said The Rev. Dr. Wally Ryan Kuroiwa, one of the founders of the organization, who has now relocated to . : . Cleveland. "How many of you were at that table?"

"I see increased poverty ... I continually hear the lament about poor education ... and it is true that the gap between rich and poor continues to grow," said The Most Rev. Francis X. DiLorenzo, Catholic Bishop of Honolulu. "I think because you are very tolerant, and because you have a great patience, that it is misunderstood that you are satisfied with the status quo."

Hula hello "Honolulu Diary" had been hear

ing persistent, but uncorroborated, rumors from University ofHawai'iaffiliated folks about the possibility of UH's Center for Hawaiian Studies lodging a "Hula takeover" on campus. So we asked - and the answer came back from those-who-shouldknow that, no, no such takeover was pending.

Hula is offered mostly on a noncredit basis through the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department and at Campus Center Leisure Programs at UH. The forcredit study of Hula, however, currently rests primarily with the music department.

According to Dr. Jane Moulin, Chairperson of the Ethno-Musicology Program in the Department of Music, the department started offering classes in Hula in 1971. "Offering the classes symbolizes a major commitment on the part of the music department to the host culture of this state," Moulin commented. In perpetuating the study of Hula, the department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, with an emphasis in Hawaiian music. Kumu hula, some of whom are Merry Monarch judges, teach the classes. Students can also take courses in Hawaiian ensemble and chorus. The department offers six sections of Hula courses each semester, with a total enrollment of around 150 students.

Although Moulin feels that there are always problems with offering Hula in a Western framework, where the art form is often artificially dichotomized, she says offering Hula through the

music department is a strength. "It is impossible to separate

Polynesian music and dance or the text from the chant" she says, adding, "Even though it can present a dilemma that UH is essentially a Western institution, the nature of how we offer Hula in this department ensures that the art form remains intact."

When asked why Hula is not housed in Hawaiian Studies, Dr. Lilikala Kame'eleihiwa, Associate Professor in the Center for Hawaiian Studies, responded, "Well, it's kind of six of one, or half a dozen of another. But it's very tight fiscally here right now. To offer all the Hula courses through our department would be costly, and not only do we not have the budget for it, but that is not necessarily the best way to deliver the courses anyway. It is not only good to spread the offering of some Hawaiian studies around the departments for fiscal reasons, but also for the fact that more people can have exposure to Hawaiian culture if, for example, things like Hula are offered on a for-credit basis through the music department."

The Center for Hawaiian Studies does currently offer non-credit traditional Hula classes and a course on beginning chant.

So far, those responsible for offering Hawaiian Studies and Hula seem happy with the arrangement. As Moulin says, " We don't feel that we own Hula, but there are both historical and philosophical reasons why it was placed in the Music Department. It could have been offered in another department, but it has been established here for almost 30 years. And if Dance or Hawaiian Studies wanted to offer it, that'd be fine; however, Hawaiian tradition prioritizes the word and the chant -in other words, music - in Hula."

According to Kame'eleihiwa, "We're not interested in "empire building" or whatever you want to call it, and we're pleased that many people can have exposure to Hula."

Missing in action Hey Kahala-area readers: Been

missing your Honolulu Weekly? You might be, now that unsympathetic figures at Kahala Mall have, for the time being, banned the Weekly from their marketplaces. Marketplace of ideas? Not.

Not clear is the rationale for the no-Weekly policy. At Kahala Mall, sales boxes for the dailies are permitted in several locations, but after the Weekly asked permission to set our boxes up in those locations, too, management banned us completely.

What's short-sighted about this is that sites can actually produce foot traffic for the businesses that have HW outlets. If you've been missing your Weekly at Kahala-, why not let management know? •

Mauka to Makai

Let's change the system so small business no longer gets hit the hardest.

•

• o ut1on ith all the talk regarding the poor state of Hawai 'i's economy, one immediately asks the question: Why are things so bad? When so many small busi

nesses are failing, and bankruptcies

Deciding to fire the full-timers and hire part-timers (C) would cut the taxes almost in half - down to about $121,000. Do you recall the local bank execs - who are involved with the Economic Task Force, and who make $1 million or so per year -jumping up in joy in the "Thumbs Up" campaign awhile back? Perhaps they were so happy because their banks get an even bigger break. These employers (B), instead of paying $217,000 as small businesses do on their million-dollar payroll, have to pay only $29,500 in taxes on one million-dollar employee. That's a cut of 86 percent, due to the peculiar laws that dictate how the eight taxes are charged to different businesses with different types of payrolls .

When a stock speculator gets a $217,000 break, or a bank gets a $186,500 break in its million-dollar "investment," it only means that the small businessperson has to pay that much more.

The greatest contributor to this inequity in the tax burden on business is the state's health insurance program. A bank, employing a single person at $1 million, typically pays only $1,896 into this program. The Mainland fast-food chain, hiring only part-timers, contributes zero to the program. But the local fulltime employer, with the same-sized payroll, has to pay in over $91,000.

We suggest this is an unfair, unequal business practice that places

....-----------------------. the burden on those local

are on the rise, why isn't something

growing old. Naturally, this broad family of insurance programs is very popular. After all, the programs employ very few bureaucrats, yet give back a high proportion of the taxes directly to people in the form of benefits. Perhaps most importantly, the people benefiting from this program don't have to pay for it, because business does. being done?

The government's Economic Task Force is dominated by big busi-ness, and not surprisingly, it has called for cutting big business' taxes. The Task Force, however, has been heavily criticized precisely for that big-business slant.

WHO PAYS? businesses that who do the most for our economy by giving people fulltime employment opportunities. At the same time, it rewards and subsidizes businesses that make the highest profits but contribute the least to the local economy.

$250,000 $217,000

There is also criticism leveled at the government for penalizing small businesses. When we uncov-ered some interesting facts, we found that there is much truth to this crit-icism.

$200,000

$150,000

$100,000

$0 $0 L-----..1..

A B C D A: a million dollar investment

The biggest government impact on almost all small businesses arises from taxes. And the biggest tax impact comes from eight taxes that fund

B; one employee, state and federal taxes C: 102 part-time employees

T he solution is not to eliminate these very popular insurance programs. Instead, taxes

should fall more equally on business. Why should A or B be given such large subsidies at the expense of C and D?

highly popular government insurance programs that help people when they become unemployed, sick, disabled or old. Added together, these eight account for most taxes paid by small business.

The eight range from Medicare to worker's compensation insurance. Only three are mandated by the federal government; the other five come from the state. Seven of these taxes in some form are paid by businesses in all 50 states; we differ from the rest primarily in our eighth tax - mandated health insurance.

A small portion of these insurance programs is also charged to employees. But employers match these employee payments and pay a lot more.

Although the taxes are primarily charged to business, the benefits go to the people. The benefits are not welfare, but they do make up the basic "safety net" of nearly everyone here.

Unlike 70 years ago, we no longer have to completely fear being laid off, being sick, getting disabled or

D: 48 full-time employees

But does business pay for this broad insurance program equitably? To analyze this, we looked at the different investment paths that four businesspeople with $1 million could take:

(A) Invest the million in New York stocks and spend nothing here.

(B) Invest the million in a single local (highly paid) employee.

(C) Invest the million in roughly 102 local employees, all hired for 19 hours a week at $10/hour.

(D) Invest the money in roughly 48 local employees, all hired for 40 hours a week at $10/hour. (See the accompanying graph.)

We found that the state penalizes those who provide full-time job opportunities here, while rewarding those who invest their money in stocks as they take their money out of Hawai 'i. Stock speculators (A) pay absolutely nothing on any of the eight taxes. The small businessperson providing full-time jobs, on the other hand (D), would be charged about $217,000.

Who is doing the most for the most people?

Five of the eight taxes are state and not federal. Even if the federal government participates in unfair business practices, that does not mean Hawai 'i is obligated to follow in its footsteps.

Why not consider taxing business fairly? Why not levy taxes on all four investors equally? Such levies could be pooled and distributed to pay for employment-insurance premiums. Taxes on small businesses would fall dramatically, averting bankruptcy and local economic collapse. And with subsidies for part-timers removed, even Mainland firms would consider hiring full-timers.

By not charging one nickel more of total tax, we could see the greatest possible revitalization of our economy. And that revitalization would benefit the small-business owner and local folks looking for reliable fulltime employment. •

'

Continued from Cover ow that one of their own has a position of power, environmentalists debate Wilson's role as DLNR chief. How do his onetime eco-comrades, as well as sovereignty and business advocates, see Wilson now? To assess his performance to date, HW took a look at DLNR's new "sus

tainability" offense - which the activistturned-government administrator proclaims will preserve Hawai 'i's environment for future generations - and the public response to it.

Wilson says "sustainability is for the '90s what social justice was for the '60s." DLNR's mission statement defines it as "a life-sustaining Hawai 'i through the protection of our fragile environment, its natural resource base, and the function and viability of natural systems on which all life depends." This stewardship stance conserves natural resources for the future, instead of looting nature for commercial gain.

As head of the 700-person department, Wilson is on a crusade to reverse what a DLNR video calls Hawai'i's "sadly earned ... dubious distinction [as] America's endan- · gered species capital." This "Striving for Sustainability" video also calls DLNR "the state's lead agency in protecting the physi-cal resources of the islands and the cultural resources." Wilson states citizen awareness and participation are essential and seeks a "community-based resource management" approach. Thus, he is mobilizing the campaign with a public relations program.

DLNR has created the state's first (nontourist) visitors center at DLNR's office, with displays, photos, a preserved brown tree snake, etc., stressing Hawai 'i's natural surroundings and the need to protect them. "Implement DLNR" buttons adorn departmental lapels. Over 250 people attended an Oct. 1 "Sustainability Summit" at the State Capital. A slide show has been created, illustrating DLNR's message.

The centerpiece of Wilson's offensive are "sustainability maps" listing numerous "DLNR ' hot spots' " per isle, which the department focuses on as eco-hazards threatening the isles. His definition of a hot spot is "a resource deteriorating over time ...

I

Is DLNR chief Mike Wilson, a former figureliead for environmental causes,

doing his job to protect tlie 'aina?

that we need to tum around, so that it doesn't decline in the future. One way to think of a hot spot is as a future zone .... We have to change the future. It requires a concerted effort by community and different divisions within DLNR to change that future." (Note: If something is not listed as a hot spot, it does not automatically mean DLNR is not dealing with it in another context.) Despite austerity, l997's legislature appropriated millions for the plan.

The most noteworthy hot spot success so far may be the 1996 reopening of the Kalalau Trail at Kaua'i's Na Pali Coast. In 1995, due to hazardous trail conditions, the Pohakuao and Kalalau areas of the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park were closed for hiking and camping. DLNR worked with a private, nonprofit corporation, the Na Pali Ohana - representatives of government agencies and community members - to

reopen the trail at what Wilson calls "one of Hawai 'i's, and Earth's, greatest natural treasures." Volunteers removed garbage and illegal campers (with an eye at carrying capacity, new camping pemlits were also reduced), eradicated pakalolo and illegal structures, and more. A "park ambassador" (full-time educator) and two additional Conservation Officers were added to oversee this Kaua 'i paradise.

Wilson sees this success story, with its public-private partnership, participation, and awareness, as a role model to be emulated statewide at other eco-hot spots. Generally, ecologists give the Na Pali measure high marks. Green Party Hawai 'i cochair, Ira Rohter, affirms, "Wilson did a good job at the Na Pali Coast."

But is Wilson's much-ballyhooed sustainability spearhead all that it's cracked up to be? How much money are lawmakers giv-

ing the program and what are the funds actually earmarked for? And how hot are DLNR's hot spots?

Not hot enough, according to some. In fact, surprised at HWs interest in the hotspots initiative, David Frankel, director of the Sierra Club's Hawai'i chapter, said, "I don't have a comment. ... It's a non-story."

Frankel's environmental colleague, Paul Achitoff, managing attorney for the MidPacific office of the Earth justice Legal Defense Fund (formerly the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund), however, calls the DLNR initiative "a worthwhile story. It really has to be done, especially with the governor's race heating up."

DLNR hot spots are a potpourri of offenders - and they are as likely to be issues as places. About 60 are listed on an O'ahu "sustainability map"; many refer to sea walls, dumping and water issues. (Not all hot spots are on the map; for example, although Wilson says Kawai Nui Marsh is a hot spot, the wetlands area is not cited on the DLNR map.) About 20 hot spots are obviously environmental: rniconia infestation, illegal fishing, intense gill netting, etc. Various sea and land recreational toys -off-road vehicles, kayaks, thrillcraft -along with boating safety also make the list.

In what may strike some as odd, many O'ahu hot spots - about 30 - seem to fall in the area of policing. Trespassing, illegal camping, homelessness, unauthorized occupancy of public property, vehicle break-ins, theft, vandalism, drug or alcohol abuse, and gunfire account for the lion's share of hot spots on O'ahu. A similar breakdown of listings is found on DLNR's five other island maps.

Indeed, more than half of funding allocated for DLNR's sustainability drive - nearly $2.36 million - is for the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement.

DLNR is the state's largest landowner, managing 1.2 million acres of state land (some is conservation land, but most are ceded lands derived from the Kingdom of Hawai'i's crown and public lands), with oversight of a total of 2 million acres of conservation land. With about half of Hawai ' i's land under DLNR purview, "DLNR needs to do more enforcement," Sierra Club's Frankel asserts.

The 1997 appropriation for Wilson's sus-

tainability effort is $4.158 million - under IO percent of the total $51. 7 million- plus annual DLNR budget.

"It's not enough money," Frankel asserts, ''but at a time when all sorts of government funding is being cutback, it's incredible. The money will go a long way to improving things." Earth justice's Achitoff maintains, "Our budget for environment is much smaller than other places', given our problems. Everyone knows Hawai 'i is the endangered species capital of the world."

Indeed, Hawai 'i ranks 48th for fish and wildlife state budgets, and, as Wilson has pointed out often, many inland states like Arizona (largely desert) spend more on annual fisheries budgets than Hawai 'i does. At DLNR's Sustainability Summit, Wilson asserted he'll seek increased funding in 1998.

Life of the Land's Henry Curtis insists, "There's a dramatic underfunding of environmental issues in Hawai 'i .... We need to pump more money - DLNR is underfunded." However, Curtis adds, "DLNR can use the funds better."

As for Wilson's offensive and budget, Achitoff says, "It's a start. All issues deserve attention." He adds, however: "I don't know if [DLNR's hot spots] are what I think are the most pressing issues."

At the end of the DLNR slide show, a mushroom cloud is projected. Wilson personally screened this show for HW; seeking to strike a visionary tone, he declared: "I can't accept this future," referring to nuclear holocaust as the opposite of a sustainable future.

Since Wilson himself brings up the thermonuclear reference - and nuclear subs defuel at Pearl Harbor, where radioactive

In what may strike some as odd, many O'ahu hot spots - about 30 - seem to fall in the area

of policing. Trespassing, illegal camping, homelessness, unauthorized occupancy of

public property, vehicle break--ins, theft, vandalism, drug or alcohol abuse, and gunfire account for the lion's share of hot spots on O'ahu.

leakage has been documented, and a big, long-hushed up non-nuclear explosion took place during WWII - we asked him about DLNR's stance on the Navy's nuclear presence at Pearl. Wilson responded, "the military should be very vigilant, and closely monitor" this.

The nuclear issue - not to mention the heavy industrial pollution at Pearl Harbor, turning the bay into a notorious Superfund cleanup site - is one glaring omission from DLNR's hot spot list. While some pressing issues such as 'liio aquifer are on the maps, many significant matters are absent from Wilson's hot spots list.

In fact, many vital issues preoccupying ecological and Hawaiian activists are noshows on DLNR's maps.

The Greens' Rohter insists "overdevelopment and hypergrowth, attracting international capital, are the biggest threats to Hawai'i's environment." Another MIA from DLNR's list is the impact of mass tourism. Indeed, ecologists believe the effect six million tourists a year have on Hawai 'i is not squarely dealt with by DLNR.

Wilson says, "We tried to use hot spots to refer to [specific] places ... Social issues, such as how many people are coming to Hawai 'i, will impact what happens to many hot spots."

A cluster of children's health problems near Kunia, where plantations allegedly dumped tons of pesticides, is not on DLNR's sonar; Wilson says, ''That doesn't sound like state land." Geothermal, a Big Isle concern that sparked protests and mass arrests in the early 1990s, is unlisted. "Geothermal we do regulate .... We manage the engineering of the [geothermal] plant," Wilson said. "Health hazards from emissions and gas [are] issues the DOH has jurisdiction over."

Alleged degradation of ancient Hawaiian cultural sites and conversion of ag land into recreation land by Moloka 'i Ranch (private property) aren't targets, although "Hawaiian water rights" there are. Wilson says these land use and zoning matters are "county issues."

A proposed radio tower on private property at Ha'upu Ridge, Kaua'i, which naturelovers deem unsightly, is also missing from DLNR's maps.

While "DLNR is committed to cleaning up pollution in the Ala Wai Canal," it is not a target, "because it's a more straightforward and simple process that doesn't require the same inter-divisional organization" as hot spot sites, Wilson says (though drugs, alcohol, and parking are Ala Wai hot spots). Even a renewed threat of Sandy Beach development - the feather in Wilson's activist cap - goes unmentioned.

Some may object on the ground that many of the above eco-causes are beyond the scope of DLNR's kuleana as a state agency. But in fact, as Hawai 'i's biggest landlord, some of the above issues are well within DLNR's purview.

Some conservationists are even more concerned about DLNR's stance on certain causes.

Earthjustice attorney Achitoff insists that "when you actually get down to controversial issues, DLNR's just not there - they 're on the wrong side." While the Waiahole Ditch case is listed as a hot spot, Achitoff , proclaims: "DLNR is on the wrong side ... aligned with private interests: Leeward O'ahu landowners who advocate the diversion of streams. This is an unbelievable abdication of responsibility by DLNR." As the Waiahole case is still being considered, Wilson limits specific comments on it, but says, "The key to having enough water in the future is the community having a commitment to a conservation ethic and ... cultural values implicit in Hawaiian culture."

Achitoff is also adamant about Maui's Mii'alaea Harbor, charging DLNR favors ''blasting the reef, destroying popular surf sites and a whaling sanctuary - a prime whale calving area," also inhabited by endangered "green sea and hawk's bill turtles."

8 • November 5 -11, 1997 • Honolulu Weekly

On Sept. 24, up to 350 people attended a boisterous public meeting at Kihei, debating a $10 million plan for the Anny Corps of Engineers to build a new protective breakwater and double the number of harbor slips for commercial and recreational crafts. Of 56 testifiers, 44 opposed the plan, which could destroy coral reef and alter a top surf site. Achitoff adds, "DLNR sponsors the plan, driven by a desire for more space to accommodate commercial boat operatqrs .... DLNR is doing nothing except for promoting the proposal. It's an absurdity for DLNR to wring its hands over hikers while it invites the Anny Corps of Engineers to blast Ma'alaea 's reef."

Wilson responds, "The proposed expansion can be done in a way that is acceptable, if you balance all of the interests involved. The analysis says this is not going to disturb marine mammals, the whales .... Unfortunately, there will be some taking of the coral reef, but we've put together a mitigation plan, so that there'll be replanting of coral, which is not of premium quality .... But if you weigh the environmental damage, of which there will be some, against the damage to putting in another boat harbor somewhere else to accommodate boat traffic, it's a [smaller] problem. There will still be surfing ... although one of the surf sites would be compromised."

Life of the Land's Curtis, who spoke against the Ma'alaea Harbor project at the September meeting, also takes DLNR to task over Hawaiian Electric Company's plan to build power lines at Wa'ahila Ridge: "DLNR actually suggested a route that would Jay cable on the ground, and putting dirt or wood chips on it, so mountain bikes could have a race course. It seems that DLNR is working with HECO, rather than remaining neutral."

Wilson says DLNR's board will meet in the future to consider the high-tension wires, as well as the Unisyn biowaste recycling plant. HPD Detective Joe Ryan, who spearheads a movement to move the alleged odor-producing health hazard out of Waimanalo, was disappointed with Wilson statements at a September DLNR board meeting. "He just spouted the party line, that Unisyn is not a health problem," complains the detective, who is suing the state.

Unisyn operates on state land that Unisyn subleases from Meadow Gold Dairy. As this subleasing agreement expired last summer, Ryan wants the DLNR to move Unisyn out of Waimanalo.

Of all the controversies DLNR has found itself on the politically incorrect side of, none has been as contentious as Wilson's role in the forcible eviction of Hawaiian land occupiers, such as the Pai Ohana on the Big Island, or approximately 300 homeless at Makua.

Sparky Rodrigues, one of the

Kanaka Maoli arrested and kicked out of Makua in June, 1996, laughs when asked: "Which has damaged Makua 's ecosystem more, Hawaiians living on the beach for a few years, or the Anny's bombardment of the valley for 50 years?"

Rodrigues asserts, "The real thing is what's happening in the back of the valley - chemicals, exploding ordinance .... Makua Valley is ceded land leased to the Army, which has been given carte blanche by the state. The fire of '95 burnt the whole valley. We saw the pueos circling above -endangered plants and animals were burned .... They blew up archaeological sites."

Wilson agrees: "There's no question. Bombing has done more environmental damage [than land occupation]. That's pretty straightforward."

Another indication of how hot DLNR's hot spots are has been the complacent response to the agency's initiatives from the conservative business community, vigilant against more government taxes and rules. "We haven't gotten opposition - I mean, this is Hawai'i's heritage we're trying to take care of," Wilson asserts.

Republican State Rep. Gene Ward, now running for U.S. Congress, says: "The environment is our economy, and our economy is our environment."

Dan Davidson of the Land Use Research Foundation of Hawai 'i, which represents landowners, says, "Some ideas seem to make a lot of sense. There is nothing inconsistent with sustainability and economic development. There is not really regularity .... It does not hurt the private sector."

This is not to say Wilson doesn't have any critics on the right. In a July 9 MidWeek column, Bob Jones attacked Wilson for not evicting followers of Dennis Kanahele from a Waimanalo site they occupy on state land. And in October, Wtlson faced off with thrillcrafters, defending proposed limits on these uses at Kane'ohe Bay.

Ecologists are divided on Wilson - some feel he shouldn't be criticized, and wouldn't talk about him on the record. "You don't want to bash your own," the Greens' Rohter says.

Some feel given the circumstances (a system which, as Achitoff says, "accommodates developers" who make "big campaign contributions"), Wilson's the best they can do. "One out of five is better than zero out of five," adds Rohter. There is much rumbling to the effect that DLNR's drive is better than nothing - but that it targets manini offensives, while sidestepping or endorsing major offenders.

Earthjustice's Achitoff says, ''Wilson should step up to the plate and take a clear stand and leadership role against the exploitation of land resources. Mike has to take responsibility. Is the state really going to get serious or do dog and pony

shows?" "It always comes down to politi

cal will," Achitoff adds. "It's difficult to do something the governor doesn't want him to do."

Rohter calls Wtlson "the governor's house environmentalist," who "has political aspirations and is quite compliant with the power structure. Makua illustrates he's not his own man .... He walks a tightrope. When the Pais were evicted, he flew in from the Mainland and landed with the assault. Wilson follows orders; he's not thinking how to change the system .... He has done a few good things, but he's not a revolutionary, and should not be seen as one."

As for those who think danger zones like Pearl Harbor are not part of DLNR's bailiwick, and that the department that proclaims itself to be the guardian of Hawai'i's land need not deal with them, Dr. Michael Jones, a UH physicist, states: "The mentality that 'there's nothing that can be done about it anyway; it just ruffles feathers,' is a prescription for disaster in the long run. These matters need more public oversight and awareness." Jones, state coordinator for the Union of Concerned Scientists, adds, "Keeping secrecy leads to cutting corners and could potentially lead to an accident. ... People have to speak out publicly."

With high-minded language, Michael Wilson makes much of the fact that our "state constitution is the only one that mandates conservation and protection of its natural beauty," and he speaks glowingly ofHawai'i as "Earth's best."

Wilson may see himself as a savior of the 'aina, but as a German philosopher observed: "We do not judge a man by what he says about himself. We judge a man by what he does."

It remains to be seen whether the man who helped save Sandy Beach by taming developers and Hawai 'i's largest private landowner can also tame its largest public landowner. •

Politics

After years of negotiations, can the state, commercial operators and environmentalists find common ground?

Conflict on Kane'ohe Bay

CRISTINA LUMPKIN

hope you're not going to write an article about who's to blame," said Carole McLean, the laidback executive director of the Friends of He'eia State Park. Asked how she felt about the Department of Land and Natural

Resources' failure to implement recommendations in the Kane'ohe Bay Master Plan, McLean replied, "I could fill my back office with all the reports done on Kane'ohe Bay; none of them have been implemented."

But the Kane'ohe Bay Master Plan was not just another scientific report. Legislatively mandated, the ambitious plan was a joint effort of the community and government to respond to conflicts among users of the Bay. These users of the increasingly overcrowded Kane'ohe waters included commercial recreation providers, marine researchers, commercial and kau kau fishing operations, and the public.

A volunteer task force labored over 15 months and 3,700 hours, holding 21 public meetings, before submit-

ting final recommendations on Kane'ohe Bay to the nowdefunct Office of State Planning in May 1992. Many of those recommendations were not put into effect, even after the Hawai 'i Legislature passed Act 317 in 1993, calling for restrictions on commercial operations permi ts, in accordance with the Kane'ohe Bay Master Plan.

"The legislative mandate recognized that commercial use of the Bay was a privilege, not a right - that these are public waters," commented John Reppun, a task force participant and member of the Kahalu'u Neighborhood Board.

A particular focus of the planning process was regulation of commercial activity on the water, especially "fixed-base operations," Reppun said. 'They take this flotilla of activities, and latch onto submerged state lands. This constitutes an exclusive use of these areas. You'd be crazy to try to go diving where those boats are anchored."

To address such problems, the master plan includes recommendations for a gradual "ratcheting down of the level of commercial activity from a circus of activity (high speed, high intensity)" to "middle-speed, temporary impact uses, such as a glassbottom boat." In addition, the plan sets limits on the number and capacity of commercial vessels that could operate in the Bay. There is also a provision to revoke high-speed use permits when ownership of commercial operations changes hands to non-family members.

L ast year, the Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, a division of the DLNR, issued several permits for commercial vessels that exceeded capacity

limits set in the master plan. There

were protests from Kane'ohe residents and environmentalists, prompting the state attorney general to issue an opinion in February stating that the master plan has the force oflaw, and that the permits were in violation of the plan.

DLNR revoked the permits in February. As a result, Kane'ohe Bay Cruises, the operator of one of the boats, filed a lawsuit against the state. DLNR then granted temporary permits to the commercial operators, while it scrambled to create new rules and regulations in accordance with the master plan.

The fiasco of the permits renewed debate over the state's intent to implement the plan's recommendations.

'Toe principles, the notion behind the details [ of the plan] have not been implemented, and that may be more important than the numbers," Reppun asserted. That sentiment is shared by Gretchen Gould, the energetic chair of the Kane'ohe Bay Regional Council, who said the failure to enforce the master plan has eroded trust in the process: "This should have been a model for communitybased planning in Hawai 'i."

W ith the recommendations in place since May 1992, the question lingers: Why has it taken the DLNR five years to begin framing rules

and regulations for commercial use of the Bay?

Gould was "a bit disappointed that both the Legislature and the DLNR haven't supported the master plan more," though she felt confident that the rules will be in place before the temporary permits expire this November. Failing that, she expects HB 967, which died in the Senate this session, will be passed next year, forcing implementation of the recommendations. (The state attorney general's February opinion is cited in the letter introducing HB 967, giving the master plan's recommendations the force of law.)

A set of draft rules in accord with the master plan has just passed a significant hurdle, gaining approval by the Board of Land and Natural Resources on Oct. 10. Howard Gehring, newly appointed Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation administrator (his predecessor, Dave Parsons, departed in August), is optimistic that new rules will be in place early in the coming year. He defends the DLNR, saying the master plan's recommendations were just that -recommendations, not law - but his view conflicts with the AG's opinion that the DLNR is obligated to follow the master plan.

Is HB 967 still necessary, if new rules for the use of Kane'ohe Bay are implemented early next year? According to Gehring, when Act 317 sunsets on July 1, 1998, several provisions of the master plan will no longer be in effect, a void which the proposed administrative rules cannot fill. Gehring anticipates some sort of "legislative fix" next year, though he would not specify that it's HB 967.

'Those big boats might have been a blessing in disguise, because they challenged the rules," said McLean, who served on the Kane'ohe Bay task force. "After that, people became even more interested in seeing the rules enacted." •

I You Go, Godard [ Those ancient Greeks, bless 'em, 1 were awful fond of sayings like 1 "To love and be wise is scarcely 1 granted, even to the Gods." l Something to keep in mind when 1 watching the recently re-released ) Contempt, Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 1 film about - ostensibly- a modem / remake of Homer's Odyssey. 1 Oh come now, you think the film is l about a film about a Greek tragedy? 1 Tch, tch. Even we can see that a movie 1 that opens on a film lot with a shot of a l camera tracking along next to one of / the "filmmakers," then turning to face 1 - to shoot - the audience, is about a l bit more than surface appearances. 1 Did we mention that the Gennan / director Fritz Lang plays the German l director Fritz Lang? That Jack Palance 1 plays an archetypal American producer, l who thinks that the story needs more j sex? (The young Palance is the perfect l boor here by the way, putting a fine 1 burnish on the persona of the one-1 anned-pushup stud that we all later \ grew to know and love). j The story: A young and "serious" 1 French writer married to ) - and madly in love with l - a beautiful young typist 1 (Brigitte Bardot) accepts a l huge amount of money 1 from Palance to spice up 1 Lang's "too traditional" l script. Love ends in a 1 moment; things fall apart l tragically. 1 Fair warning: Contempt l is not an easy film to watch. j With the exception of Lang's

Lang, there are no characters here to hang your heart on, and the literary allusion occasionally feels as heavy as a brick in your boxers. . .. Still, there is Palance - simultaneously absurd, funny and frightening. Most definitely one for the cinema buffs (and Bardotin-the-buff buffs - RRRoawerrrrr!); as for the rest of you ... yeah, maybe.

characterized by the atonal and the synthesized, much of the work done between the '50s and '90s in the field of classical music has been less than lyrical - and sometimes downright clunky.

Enter the Dorian Wind Quintet, who appears this week with noted (pun!) jazz pianist Billy Childs -whom the musically unpure among you might recognize for his work with Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Paul McCartney and even Billy Joel.

The Dorian comes to Honolulu with a program of 20th century works that is decidedly lyric, performing compositions by the neo-romanticist Robert Ward; a work by Childs written specifically for the Dorian; and Lee Hoiby's airy 1953 work "Diversions for Wind Quintet," among others.

A loose confederation of the original

Last year on Oct. 31, I was gargling sake at Decibel in New York, waiting for the first snowfall, so I wasn't thrilled about having to go out on Halloween in Honolulu to write this frickin column. And where is Mark Chittom? I think after all those letters to the editor, he should be pulling double-time, making extra sure he's keeping the Weekly's target audience happy.

The truth is I never go out on Halloween. To me it's the second worst night to go to nightclubs. (The worst is any night of Labor Day weekend; the best is Thursday night after Thanksgiving dinner). This year, Halloween also happened to fall on the least professional night of the week to go out: Friday.

At 11 :30 p.m., I walked from my house down Kalakaua into Waikiki. The traf-fic was bumperto-bumper, and when I got to the parking lot at 1739! ran into two friends who are club professionals, hunched over a Cushman go-cart talking to HPD (who were costumed as HPD). They were pressing charges on some kids who had pulled a knife on them. The amateurs were out in force.

I met up with more friends at the Wave. The club's theme this year was "superheroes" - kind of a lame one. (I toyed with the idea of going as ajinzoo ningen like Kikaida or Ultra Man, but decided it was too obvious.) One assumes the superhero motif was owner Jack Law's way of getting male customers to run around in tights for an evening. Alas, it was Jack himself who pulled off the best interpretation of the theme, dressing as Superman while riding one of those electric wheelchairs with handlebars - rented from C.R. Newton.

My friends were costumed impeccably. They really take Halloween seriously, like, they think it's the only holiday worth recognizing. (I mean, it's not even a holiday.) They kindly overlooked my having dressed in a Billabong T-shirt and jeans and my mumbled excuse about being Mormon, and how we can't dress in costumes, but could you please light my cigarette. I think they saw through the ruse. I don't like dressing in costumes for the simple reason that whenever I

leave my house, I am already dressed in costume. (And if anyone wants to argue withme over the definition of a "real costume" rn warn you now that I go for the jugular.)

We headed over to Hula's, which was just a mess. How do you celebrate Halloween at a club where every night is Halloween? The answer: More makeup, higher heels, higher hair and a lot of unapologetic, unmitigated ass grabbing.

Like, it's Halloween, so suddenly it's OK to grab my ass? I just stood

around with my back to a wall looking pissed off, which is also part of my costume.

After Hula's clo~ I parted with my friends and sought refuge at Caffe Insomnia, where " you can get bagels and coffee, smoke cigarettes, play chess, have access to the

\ Internet and watch ESPN. It's one of my favorite places

after 2 in the morning: It's never too crowd

ed; people wander in and out forming an odd and comforting confederation. It's how I remember the old Coco's, which never closed its doors except for the infrequent kitchen fire. And if you stayed up late enough or got up early enough, you would catch Alm at the counter having breakfast before going on the air. Or later in the morning, you could see my alltime favorite figure from Hawaii politics - Alema Leota, who wore a knit cap and would, when I was a small child, give me silver dollars procured from a Crown Royal bag. (Hey Mufi, I knew Alema Leota .... )

After my coffee break, I ended up at 1739, where I ran into Scooby and Kahele, both of whom towered over me in their foot-high platforms. By 5 a.m., the amateur crowd had thinned and the boys from Tap Dogs weren't around to hog the dance floor. Did you ever notice how professional dancers can't dance for shit if you put them in a nightclub? I popped in my trusty earplugs (a functional part of my costume) and boogied till dawn. I also ran into Chittom, who had deejayed earlier in the evening. I heard it went very well. Sorry I missed your set Mark, but I had a column to write, you lazy bastard.

Film

Boogie Nights peeks at porno movies - and lets its audience feel hip.

Where Now, Voyeur? BOB GREEN

hen sex (as opposed to sexuality) and sexual equipment are turned into commodities - for capitalist purposes in a puritanical society -the results are bizarre,

mundane, ''tragic" and comic. In the sprawling Boogie Nights, writerdirector-du-jour Paul Thomas Anderson presents a smart, funny, violent take on the porno film industry. That is, he focuses on the industry in the late '70s and early '80s, when home video was about to tum a million-dollar business into a billiondollar one. (His film, however, fails to mention that filmed porno was largely controlled by the mob before it went to tape. That's a serious omission on his part.)

In Boogie Nights, a sweet, stupid Southern California waiter (Mark Wahlberg, the artist formerly known as Marky Mark) is discovered by porno director Jack Homer (played with terrific knowingness by Burt Reynolds, squinched, graying, and alienated), and he gets turned into a star. In "legitimate" film, beauty and other forms of attractiveness (including talent) help create stars; in filmporn, being king-sized is king (and sometimes queen) - and that is the Wahlberg character's gift.

The film is based, in part, on the career of real-life pomo's late John(ny) "Wadd" Holmes - and the early career of gay pom's Jeff Stryker. Wahlberg himself knows a thing or two about short-lived "beauty" stardom, and gives a good performance as baffled Eddie Adams. Eddie doesn't have enough singing or acting talent to cross over into legit film (as have a few of today's big stars, who started in porno or as "escorts" in Hollywood or New York). As a result, Eddie's career has a predictable

downward spiral. Wahlberg is always better in the

scenes with old pro Reynolds, who keeps him on his toes. (This is Reynolds' best screen performance; even his lousy toupees work for him here.) Writer-director Anderson knows that workers in the "sex industry" are hungry for family, so Horner and his porno-star/earth-mother

"wife" Amber Waves (Julianne Moore) become surrogate parents and relatives to an assorted bunch, including a second-tier "model" (Don Cheadle) and a techie (Fargo's William H. Macy). Yearning for recognition as "artists" (or, at least, legit movie-makers), these fringedwellers, often adrift in a world of cocaine and mechanical sex, for a time bask in the stardom of "Dirk Diggler" (Adams' stage name), infamous for his ability to do retakes at a moment's notice. (During his film-ing, director Horner looks on at the sex as if he were guiding Meryl

Streep through a problem-drama -he's not.)

Foul-mouthed, fast-moving, and overly long, Boogie Nights has a good ensemble cast, a unique story to tell, and is self-indulgent (and often imprecise) about a subject that allows it to be both low-down and high-minded. But it doesn't make the fatal mistake: It doesn't fail to be alive. These characters seem real, vibrant to us, even if, like Eddie, they're a little larger than life. The camera prowls ugly houses and

ugly lives relentlessly; it's a vulgar comedy of manners, one that, quite simply, couldn't have gotten made a few years ago. (The language is shocking, to the easily shocked.)

Boogie Nights isn't the masterpiece that our eager-to-be-hip critics are calling it, but it is a good movie about an irresistible subject safely set in the immediate (and visually comic) past. It's as exploitative as real porno in its own way - and, in its own way, as opportunistic as its young, hung

. and doomed "hero." •

Red Comer proves just how stupid Hollywood can be - and maybe just how stupid Hollywood thinks we are.

The People's DAVID K. CHOO

ack Moore is a hot-shot entertainment lawyer who is negotiating a mega-television package with the Chinese government in Beijing. On the brink of closing the deal, the cocky

businessman has a one-night stand with a beautiful fashion model who seems to have a fascination with his big nose and even bigger Benz. The next morning Moore awakens in his luxury suite with a hangover, a bloodcovered shirt and a corpse in the other room. So begins his Kafkaesque journey into China's medieval judicial system.

Red Comer is one of those movies that makes you ask: Why was this film ever made? Was it produced to

call our attention to the human-rights abuses occurring in China today? A few thousand students and a dozen tanks were a pretty graphic example of that. Was it to show us how a precious few citizens fight the powers that be, in pursuit of life, liberty and the Chinese way? A lone student opposing a single tank showed us that, too.

In fact, Red Comer shows us just how stupid Hollywood is. Or maybe worse - how stupid Hollywood thinks we are. Let me get this straight. The plight of an Armani-clad entertainment lawyer is supposed to call our attention to the crimes of this repressive regime? Give me a break.

Politics and pessimism aside, Red Corner is just a boring film. For threequarters of the movie Richard Gere,

ourt as Moore, gets the crap beaten out of him, and he grimaces a lot. In the meantime, Bai Ling, who plays his defense attorney, gets harassed by the secret police and wrings her hands a lot. There is a brief action scene in which Moore escapes to the do-nothing American embassy, but that bit of life is quickly dispatched, and we return to the courtroom "drama."

Stripped of its hollow, simpleminded characterizations and grandstanding, Red Corner is nothing more than a mediocre episode of LA Law. You have the impassioned closing soliloquy, the Jost piece of evidence that suddenly reappears, and the surprise witness. Pretty silly and manipulative, but at least in LA Law, those shenanigans only lasted for an hour orso. •

from Page 12 of terrorists? Come on .... But we're talking about Harrison Ford here, and with his star power alone, he can make us forget about a plot that is as flimsy as a campaign promise -and make us believe an utterly impossible finale (involving not only squadrons of F-15's and MIG's but an exploding tanker and a mid-air rescue.) The action is the key to this film and, if you don't laugh out loud, you 'll probably stretch out and have a great time. (Reviewed 7 /30) -David K.

Kapolei Megaple:x, Mililani 5-Plex, Pear/ridge 4-Plex, Waikiki Theatres, Restaurant Row 9 Theatres, Koko Marina Twins Devil's Advocate There is very little that is special about the first three-quarters of this film: Satan is the head of an international law finn; a young criminal lawyer has to battle Temptation and his own ego; virtually every woman ends up naked and all but one are literally from hell; Keanu Reaves gets naked .... Actually, there is only one thing that saves us from believing that we've been permanently banished to the second ring of moviegoer hell (wherein audience members are sunk to their eyeballs in cheese): Al Pacino. As Saran, he does a hell of a job. Is it enough to save the movie? Almost. ...

Anthony Hopkins plays a bookworm of a billionaire who is a combination of Ted Turner, Macgyver and Cliff Claven; Elle Macpherson plays his wife; and Alec Baldwin plays a sleazy, womanizing photographer.

Keo/u Center Cinema, Restaurant Row 9 Theatres, Signature Pearl Highlands, Kabala 8-Plex, Kapolei Megaplex 'l The Full Monty Above all else, this movie

_ is such a kind-hearted, good-natured, modest little movie that it's irresistible - even when it's as clumsy as its out of shape heroes, six Sheffield steel workers turned strippers. Obvious as the story in some ways is, it restores some humanity to a screen world mostly taken over by computer-generated violence. Put it next to Ulee's Gold as another unexpected movie treat. (Reviewed 9/17)-Bob Green Kabala 8-Plex Gang Related The late Tupac Shakur (in bis last completed movie) and John Belushi's brother Jim star in this story about detectives in the midst of corruption, with special roles essayed by Dennis Quaid and James Earl Jones.

Luckily for us, it has an environmental theme and does an OK job- as far as it goes. Music by Oscar-nominated Mark Isham (Never Cry Wolf). -B.G. IMAX Theatre Waikiki I Know What You Did Last Summer A raging-hormones (teen division) horror flick. Kevin Williamson (Scream) wrote it. Kabala 8-Plex, Keolu Center Cinema, Kapolei Megaplex, Restaurant Row 9 Theatres, Pear/ridge West, Mililani 5-Plex 'l In and Out This stoiy of a small-town English teacher (Kevin Kline), who is outed by one of bis former students at the Academy Awards three days before his wedding, is as sweet as they come. The movie starts out hopeful and sweet and ends maybe a little naively and very sweet. That might be too much for ideologues to handle, but you have to remember that this film was made for middle America, and you know what they say about sugar and good medicine. Also stars Joan Cusack, Tom Selleck, Debbie Reynolds, Wilfred Brimely and Matt Dillon. (Reviewed 9/24) -D.K.C. Kabala 8-Plex, Pear/ridge \Vest, Nanaku/i Cinemas, Signature Pearl Highlands, Laie Cinemas Kiss the Girls Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd - who's on her way to becoming a big star - team in this serial-killer story about an

escaped victim (Judd) and an old pro (Freeman) joining up to pursue a madman. Kam D1iveIn, KapoleiMegaplex, Pearirldge \Vest, Signature Pearl Highlands, Restaurant Row 9 Theatres 'l L.A. Confidential For the first 20 minutes or so, this beautifully laid out story seems only a superior example of film noir - the genre in which doomed, flawed characters, existing in the shadowy world of criminality, cannot escape the past. But this movie, in many ways the most ambitious studio film in a long time, turns the conventions around; it tries, so to speak, to head them off at the past. Thus 1953 stands for 1997: We, too, are haunted by the past, which this noir ironically illuminates -giving us the best crime-drama of its type since Chinatown, and maybe better. (Reviewed 9/24) -B.G. Signature Pearl Highlands, Keolu Center Cinema, Kailua Theatre Leave It To Beaver The Cleavers do the '90s - and the '90s do them. Eddie Haskell might like it, but as for the rest of you ... . Kam Drlw-In ' 'l Men in Black Men In Black owes less to Star Trek then to Dragnet and Police Squad!: While the plot is somewhat TV-sized (something has stolen a galaxy and Agent J [Will Smith] and K [Tommy Lee Jones] must find it) and the climactic battle with a giant cockroach of an alien is somewhat of a dud, it is in the just-the-facts-ma'am police visits that the movie shines. (Reviewed 7 /9) -D.K.C. Mililani 5-Plex, Keo/u Center Cinema Most Wanted A Gulf War hero (Keenan Ivory Wayans) is framed for the assassination of the First Lady. Paul Sorvino and the ubiquitous Jon Voight co-star. Pear/ridge West, Kapolei Megaplex, Signature Pearl Highlands The Myth of Fingerprints A highly praised indie about a family reunion catalyzing lots of secrets, lots of revelations, lots of conflict. Noah Wyle and Julianne Moore star. Varsity Twins The Peacemaker Based on work done by investigative journalists Alexander and Leslie Cockburn, the story is about disillusioned renegades in the former Russia , the former Yugoslavia, Vienna and New York City, where the story climaxes by collapsing into B-movie derring-do and bomb-dock-ticking cliches. Too bad: The Cockbums' original research is a chilling scenario. By the time this crew gets hold of it, it's just another action movie ... not the worst and not the best of the (late, late) summer. (Reviewed 10/ 1) -B.G. Nanakuli Cinemas, Signature Pearl Highlands, Peariridge West 'l Playing God Now a veteran of 100 X-Files episodes, David Duchovny has perfected his voice-over skills: His commentaiy, layered over this gritty, garish little B-movie, is a comment on the film itself, in addition to a self-lacerating exposition. Duchovny's performance itself is smart and knowing - smart enough to know that this audience-frienclly role about a fledgling mob doctor doing makeshift surgery in hotel rooms (the kind of character who usually has one scene in old-time gangster flicks) is a juicy one ... even when the movie, reeking of L.A. exploitation, is neither as well-written nor photographed as the average (Canadian-shot) XFiles episode.

Culture

Interactivity, instant gratification and low, low costs.

et's review: In the beginning there was darkness. Then the eggheads of technology put their brains together and, with the prodding of the federal government, decided to create a way for computers

to talk to one another over long distances. The computers were wired, the transmission sent and a pale spark streaked through the darkness.

Several years later, a revolutionary named Tun Bemers-Lee proposed a radical idea: A World Wide Web - a series of computers spanning the globe, where any user with a home computer and a modem could tap into any other computer and instantly retrieve files or other information. The spark blossomed.

Approximately an hour after its inception, some would-be poet posted a sonnet dedicated to his girlfriend on the Web, and the spark bloomed. The era of electronic publishing had been ushered in.

Why the history lesson? Well, for starters, the Net as we know it is only seven years old - a virtual child in evolutionary terms - but already, the content and quality of the media rivals (and in some cases exceeds) its printed brother. The sophistication of the publications hitting cyberspace newsstands today is comparable to, say,

presently. The sheer number of people who pour their soul out onto paper is staggering. And nearly 1,000 zines dedicated to the art have popped up on the Net in the last two years alone. Some of the best are Pif Magazine (http://www.dimax.com/pifl), a quarterly journal of social commentary, short fiction and poetry by the twenty something crowd ( of which I am the founder and managing editor); Blue Raincoat (http://www. akula. com/-Iiap/contents.html), a wonderful quarterly of poetry, photography and artwork that hits the palate like a fine cognac; and LitWeb (http://www.litweb.com/), a journal of slam fiction (short stream-of-conscience fiction), and book reviews. As an added bonus, LitWeb offers readers a place to post their journals online, eliminating that cumbersome lock and key once used to keep others from reading your most secret thoughts.

If these seem too timid to you, then you should probably check out Purr Magazine (http://www.purrmag.com/). There's nothing tame about this kitty.

The zine contains nothing but cutting-edge writing with a bite and a hiss.

a Time-Life pop-up book being printed on the Gutenberg press a decade after its invention.

···ontents f,ct,o The Net, however, offers

something no other media can: interactivity, instant gratifica-tion and publishing costs that will run you less than a meal at Tony Roma's. Anyone with a computer, a modem and a telephone can, in essence, become Rupert Murdoch, publishing whatever they choose, advertisers and censors be damned. As a result, the Net has been flushed with electronic magazines dedicated to everything from tabloid news to poetry, from vampires to banana anarchy (http://www.docker.com/ -hillmanjr/ bananarchy.htrnl). Any interest you may possibly have, you can bet your last dollar there in an online zine out there to cover it. If the subject is remotely common, you can assume that there are at least 100, in 37 different countries, and all of them are vying for your visit.

Poetry and short-fiction journals appear to be the most common,

Or, Barbed Wire (http://horne. iSTAR.ca/-paull/wire/cover2.btrn), touted as "Vancouver's only FREE webzine with a complete MONEYBACK guarantee." Either one will contain something that's bound to upset you.

If you're looking for a culturally specific zine, then the Net is where you should be shopping. Not only will you have access to zines published half-way around the world, but many of these will be written solely in Spanish, French or Japanese. EYE Aj! (http://www.beseder.com/ EYE/journal.html) is the slickest, most enjoyable Russian literary magazine currently on the Net. Strong Slavic poetics mixed with American pop graphics give this zine an enjoy-

RICHARD lUCK able look and feel - and it's written in both Russian and English. ChannelA (http://www.channelacom/) is the best place to experience Asia from a Western perspective. This highly graphic, hip site is the defining critic of Asian culture and media. If you prefer your Eastern culture without the Western flavor, though, then the Beijing Review (http://sun. ihep.ac.cn/ins/BOOK/bjreview/BJRE VIEW.HTML) is probably for you. The journal is primarily a showcase for Chinese literature and poetry, but you'll usually find some commentary and politics thrown in for good measure. Connecting to the site is sometimes difficult, but well worth the wait.

If you' re like me, though, all this sun has given you water on the brain. You have the surf in your veins. The ocean calls. And when it does, be sure to check out H30 - Heavy Water (http://www.h3o.com/) before you hit the beach. Besides including tons of photos of North Shore surfers strutting their stuff, the zine posts the latest surf reports every few hours. Navigation is a little confusing, so just remember to use the menu bar in the middle of the screen, and not the side bar, to get you to where you want to be. If you're still thirsty after that tall glass, then perhaps SurferGirl Magazine (http://www.surfergrrl.com/) is more up your alley. But be warned: This site's not for Barbies. Only hardcore chicks with sticks will make it out alive. Dedicated to promoting women's surfing and bodyboarding, the zine also includes a fair number of articles and links on ecology and beach preservation.

everal zines devoted to Hawaiian issues are out there, too. One of the more commercial-looking, and older, is Aloha from Hawai 'i (http://

www.aloha-hawaii.com/hawaii_maga zine/magazine.shtml), a zine that seems aimed more towards tourists than to locals. One of their most appealing features is the "Dead Gecko of the Day" page. Shnkka Magazine (http://www.shakkamag.com/) started just over a month ago, but looks to be the most promising Hawaiianissues zine yet. Their current issue has articles on business news, politics, education and Hawaiian affairs. Still in its infancy, you may find that some of the links aren't working properly, but the ones that do will lead you to pages filled with thoughtprovoking commentary and insight.

Poetry to politics, it's all on the Web and it's all (virtually) free. Check it out. •

-----1rnc E----from Page 14 Sugiyama is a company man with a beautiful, suppoltive wife and a sharp-as-a-tack daughter, and he's just pledged his soul to his soulless company to buy his tidy little house. He's living tl1e Japanese dream and he's quietly desperate. One evening on his train-ride home, he spots a beautiful dancer, staring longingly out the open window of a dance studio. The inlage haunts him for days, until one evening he gets off the train and decides that me only way to meet me object of his desire is to take dance lessons. Yep, sounds predictable, and in a way it is. But it's also furmy, heart-felt and never manipulative. By the time the end of the film arrives we've gone through all the steps and learned its message by heart: Almough music and dance can set us free, it still takes two to tango.

Pear/ridge We5t, Kailua Theatre Spawn Unless you're 14 and feel powerless in your elliptical existence, the storyline to Spawn is likely to seem like cold mashed-potatoes: Spawn, a high-tech assassin (Michael Jai White) is double-crossed by his boss (Martin Sheen), goes to Hell and is resurrected on the agreement that he will lead Hell 's legions in destroying the planet - or someming like that. (The movie keeps changing its mind.) About 15 minutes of the visual effects here are wonderful and some of the low-down-and-dirty soundtrack is terrif, but this chaotic zit-movie is itself little more than anomer pimple on the face of American cinema.

Polynesian p"laywright Alani Apia returns with Kamau A'e.

BY ED RAMPELL

Jani Apia Polynesian playwright, actor and artist - is back with Kamau A'e, which premieres at Kumu Kahua

Theatre Nov. 6 and is a sequel to Kamau, about a "" ·" Hawaiian 'ohana torn apart by a land struggle. This 1995 play, which also debuted at Kumu, was important in breaking new ground for Hawaiian playwrights, with its searing look at social issues ripped from the proverbial headlines. But some critics charged that Kamau (meaning "to carry on") was marred by a defeatist ending.

Apia, who grew up at 'Ewa Beach, lived this story, to some extent: He endured a fight over "stolen" land, as well as the suicide and drug-overdose death of two cousins. "The things that happened to my family ... all those struggles have pushed what my art is about," Apia says.

In Kamau, Alika Kealoha prostitutes his culture as a tour guide, in order to earn a living for himself and a sick niece. Alika's employer buys, and plans to develop, the O'ahu oceanfront property where Alika and his kanak-to-da' -max cousins George and Michael Mahekona grew up and fished.

Unable to handle the pressure of encroaching Westernization and his girlfriend's pregnancy, George kills himself. Michael stabs a security guard on what he believes is 'ohana 'ai.na, and is imprisoned. The final scene of the May 20, 1995, openingnight performance had Alika - who drank and cried throughout the play - suffer a nervous breakdown, unable to stand up to the powers that be. Meanwhile, Michael strides up and down his prison cell, seething with rage, like a caged tiger waiting to pounce.

According to a Kumu press release, Kamau A 'e - the second in Apia's planned trilogy - stands on its own, but carries on where Kamau ends. After nine years, Michael is released from prison, and "attempts to reenter society and to carry on his struggle to reclaim his family's land. Michael's efforts lead him into conflict with the state, with the hotel that has purchased his family's land and, ultimately, with his own family."

The denouement of 1995's Kiimau was left unresolved. The play ended up as more Waiting for Godot than

-

Waiting for Lefty. (Recently revived by Joanne Woodward and written by then-leftist Clifford Odets during the Depression, Lefty ended with the cast leading the audience in a rousing chorus of "STRIKE!")

Indeed, Harry Wong III, the director of Kiimau and its sequel, directed another Samuel Beckett play, Krapp 's Last Tape, which, like Godot, has the absurdist viewpoint that man is trapped by his existential angst, from which there is no exit It will be interesting to see how this sequel ends.

A real-life land struggle unfolded just as Kamau hit the boards: the Nation of Hawai 'i's standoff ~th the state over its Makapu 'u land occupation, and Bumpy Kanahele's bungee jumping ''leap for sovereignty" - surely a piece of political theater more imaginative than most playwrights could conjure up.

Unlike in Kiimau, the Nation of Hawai 'i ended up with a victory and 'aina(atWaimanalo). So: DoKanaka Maoli - especially when engaged in land struggles and facing the armed heel of the state - need a playwright to create pessimistic imagery, communicating a sense of despair and impossibility of triumph?

American art is filled with images stressing the impossibility of successfully rebelling against the status quo. This might be epitomized by the movie Bonnie and Clyde, which captured the zeitgeist of 1967: Youthful rebellion ferociously shot down by police. Compare this to art when the people are in the saddle: 1920s Soviet cinema usually depicted triumphant revolt. In the Dovzhenko classic Arsenal, Bolsheviks are defeated by czarist forces at an armory. But when the white Russians try to execute the reds, bullets bounce off their chests,

and a revolutionary ends the film declaring: "There's something here you just can't kill!"

Alani Apia wrote his first play, Na Keiki 'O Ka 'Aina ("Child of the Land"), in 1988. This children's play with all-animal characters used the foreign-introduced mongoose as a symbol for the coming of non-natives to Hawai 'i. However, Apia has been mainly known as an actor on the stage

and TV. In the 1980s, Apia pursued

theater at UH, and debuted in a Kumu production. At UH' s Kennedy Theatre, he played King Oberon in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. In Brian Clark's Summer's War at Mid-Pac Theatre, Apia depicted a late 19th century Hawaiian in a lepers' holding station before he is sent to Kalaupapa (he ' s remembered for his nude scenes in this drama.) In 1993, Apia played one of Queen Lili 'uokalani' s ministers in the epic open-air drama reenacting the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom that was staged at 'Iolani Palace during the centennial Onipa'a observances. Apia got behind the camera for documentaries about indigenous subjects produced by David Kalama. He worked for Pacific Islanders in Communication, then left to found his own multimedia production company, Kuaihelani, which includes his

painting and traditional carving. Apia may be best known for his

TV work. He played Prince. Charming in Pidgin to do.' Max, with Tremaine Tamayose and Frank DeLima, and has appeared in commercials. His most widely seen role was as English teacher Alan Akana in the short-lived Steven Bochcoproduced ABC series Byrds of Paradise. Apia says, "Most importantly, Byrds was the first time Hollywood, network television and mainstream America took a look at Hawaiians in Hawai 'i in a serious light. At the same time, still recognizing that for a Mainland, primarily white audience, they needed to need primarily white people as the focus of the show, and the Byrds family was that. But ... they did a great job trying to reach out to the other people here, especially with Elizabeth Lindsey as the lead female, and tell our stories."

Now, Hawaiians like Alani Apia are telling their own stories in a serious light. While groundbreaking, Kamau had an unsatisfying ending, leaving Apia a playwright in search of an ending. With his sequel, Apia has an opportunity to resolve his characters' conflicts; this remains to be seen on Nov. 6, when Kamau A 'e opens. •

't The Unending Path: Paintings by Harold Wongfrom 1957-1997The "unending path" writ large here is the unfolding of the long and rich practice of Chinese brush painting making its way - like a traveler's path inscribed in a clas.sic view of the landscape -over bridges, through thickets and hills, upward, always upward into misty heights. An occasional way-station might offer temporary rest, but the journey continues. The "unending path" writ small is the story of a single hand - in this case, that of Harold Wong - as it tunes itself to tradition, shaping itself through devoted and disciplined practice, first giving up and then finding anew its own place and pace. These mountains, streams and clouds have nothing to say about an observable environment, and everything to say about a state of mind. (Reviewed 10/ 15) -Marcia Morse. Through 11/12.

Recently, on your America Online site, you posted your old column about Rock 'n' Rollen Stewart, the guy who used to hold up those "John

3:16" signs at sports events. Youmay be interested to know that Stewart is now serving a life sentence in jail. -Name withheld, via AOL

Y ipes. I lost track of Rollen after talking to him in 1987. At the time he struck me, and I'd say most people, as a harmless if obsessed flake. Shows how

wrong you can be. A few years later Stewart went completely off his nut, staged a series of bombings, and wound up in prison after a bizarre kidnapping stunt. The whole story is told in The Rainbow Man/John 3:16, a new documentary by San Francisco filmmaker Sam Green. If you doubt that too much TV is bad for you, you won't after seeing this flick.

Stewart's problems started during his childhood in Spokane, Washington. His parents were alcoholics. His father died when Rollen was 7. His mother was killed in a house fire when he was 15. That same year his sister was strangled by her boyfriend. A shy kid, Rollen got into drag racing in high school, married his first love and opened a speed shop. But his wife soon left him. Crushed, he sold the shop and moved to a mountain ranch where he became a marijuana farmer, tried to grow the world's longest mustache, and watched a lot of TV.

In 1976, looking for a way to make his mark, Rollen conceived the idea of becoming famous by constantly popping up in the background of televised sporting events. Weaiing a multicolored Afro wig (hence the nickname ''Rainbow Man"), he'd carry a battery-powered TV to keep track of the cameras, wait for his moment, then jump into the frame, grinning and giving the thumbs-up. Rollen figured he'd be able to parlay his underground (OK, background) celebrity into a few lucrative TV gigs and retire rich. But except for one Budweiser commercial, it didn't happen.

Feeling depressed after the 1980 Super Bowl, he began watching a preacher on the TV in his hotel room and found Jesus. He began showing up at TV events wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Jesus Saves" and various Bible citations, most frequently John 3: 16 (''For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son," etc). Later, accompanied by his wife, a fellow Christian he married in the mid-' 80s, he spent all his time traveling to sports events around the country, lived in his car

and subsisted on savings and donations. He guesses he was seen at more than 1,000 events all told.

This brings us to the late '80s. By now Rollen had gotten his 15 minutes of fame and was the target of increasing harassment by TV and stadium officials. His wife left him, saying he had choked her because she held up a sign in the wrong location. His car was totaled by a drunk driver, his money ran out and he wound up homeless in L.A. Increasingly convinced that the end was near, Rollen decided to create a radically different media character. He set off a string of bombs in a church, a Christian bookstore, a newspaper office, and several other locations. Meanwhile, he sent out apocalyptic letters that included a hit list of preachers, signing the letters "the Antichrist." Rollen says he wanted to call attention to the Christian message, and while this may seem like a sick way to go about it, it wasn't much weirder than waving signs in the end zone at football games. In any case, no one was hurt in the bombings, which mostly involved stink bombs.

On Sept. 22, 1992, believing the Rapture was only six days away and having prepared himself by watching TV for 18 hours a day, Stewart began his last "presentation." Posing as a contractor, he picked up two day laborers in downtown L.A., then drove to an airport hotel. Taking the men up to a room, he unexpectedly walked in on a chambermaid. In the confusion that followed he drew a gun, the two men escaped, and the maid locked herself in the bathroom. The police surrounded the joint, and Rollen demanded a three-hour press conference, hoping to make his last national splash. He didn't get it. After a nine-hour siege the cops threw in a concussion grenade, kicked down the door, and dragged him away.

About to be given three life sentences for kidnapping, Rollen threw a tantrum in the courtroom and now blames everything on a society that's "bigoted toward Jesus Christ." A cop who negotiated with him by phone during the hotel standoff had a better take on it: "With all due respect, maybe you look at a little bit too much TV."

MATTHEW GRAY

"I no_v; pronounce you husband and wife," were the words I spoke at a Magic Island sunset wedding I presided over recent-1 y. Immediately following. the

bride (whose family originally hailed from Hong Kong) said she felt like celebrating with a lobster dinner. She chose the Forum Chinese Restaurant. in the Chinese Cultural Plaza, because after dinner. Russ and Jayne, the newlyweds, would be guests on the "Love Life Radio Show" that Miss A and I host. The studio is just upstairs, so we could celebrate/imbibe on a grand scale. We did.

Before dinner, we made several toasts inside the legendary darts and karaoke spot, Paul & Terry's bar, also in the Cultural Plaza. Six of us squeezed cozily together and schmoozed for a while, watching the new bride slurp gin and tonics, stimulating her palate for the impending Chinese feast.

The combined cuisines of China have often been compared to French cuisine for having made the greatest contribution to the world of food. Chinese cooking styles have been divided into five main regions: Southeastern (Canton), East Coast (Fukien), Northeastern (PekingShantung), Central (Honan) and Western (Szechuan-Hunan). Cantonese cuisine is famous for its meat roasting and grilling, fried rice and shark's fin soup. The province of Fukien is noted for its Brobdingnagian selection of soups and for its seafood dishes. The light, elegant Peking-Shantung style originated the famous Peking duck, and is highly acclaimed for its subtle and artful use of seasonings.

China's Honan province is the home of sweet-and-sour cooking, and the Szechuan-Hunan school is known for its hot, spicy dishes. Mandarin cooking and Shanghai cooking are not regional designations, but terms used to describe cooking styles. The word "Mandarin" means "Chinese official," and mandarin cooking suggests an aristocratic cuisine that gleans the very finest elements from all the regions. Shanghai cooking refers to a cosmopolitan combination of many Chinese

cooking styles. Forum Restaurant calls itself "Cantinese," but it truly falls under the Shanghai description.

Once seated inside the Forum restaurant, I spoke of ancient Chinese customs, Jong life, abundance and how wonderful Shark's Fin Soup is for your love life. At $38 per person, we nixed the soup idea, though, and Jayne ordered another gin and tonic. I wondered if "Drunken Bride" was offered on the menu . ...

The Sauteed Live Lobster ($8.95) was swimming in a nearby tank just moments before being presented at the table. It waded in the ubiquitous cornstarch-thickened Cantonese sauce, mild enough to allow the fresh sweet lobster flavor to dance upon our tastebuds. Chinese cooks know how to cook protein (i.e. seafood, fowl and meats) properly- that is to say, leaving it undercooked, understanding that residual cooking continues after the food has left a hot wok. When you take your first bite, the food has retained a juicy tenderness.

Even with all my ministerial might, I couldn't steer the group away from ordering the sweet dishes, Sweet and Sour Pork ($8.95) and Deep Fried Boneless Chicken with Lemon Sauce ($8.95). Some people equate these dishes to the Chinese food they grew up with. The pork dish is exactly the same just about everywhere; pork McNuggets drowning in that unnatural-red-gloppy-gluey-sticky-waytoo-sweet-with-bits-of-pineapple sauce/coating. The Lemon Chicken was slightly better, but still tasted on the candy side of lemon. What can I say about these dishes? Either you love them or you leave them ....

My love of eggplant was tested once again by Forum's version of Eggplant Szechuan Style ($8.95; curiously offered under the Pork section of the menu). Whereas most good Chinese food makes your mouth water, true Szechuan style dishes should make your eyes water. Szechuan peppercorns are at the heart of genuine flavor here, not to mention those tiny explosive chili peppers and a liberal dose of garlic. This

/_ dish looked like, and tasted of, ketchup?!? Could that be? Well, yes; many Chinese places spice up ketchup for various offerings. This dish lacked the peppercorns and chili heat output that I crave, so we were a bit disappointed.

The Stir-Fried Beef with Seasonal Vegetable ($8.95) made me wonder about the definition of "seasonal vegetable." In any case, the veggie was broccoli (surprise, surprise) and the beef slices were tender, having been dusted with cornstarch, deep-fried momentarily (to sear in the juices), and then stir-fried and seasoned.

We had the Stir-Fried E-Mein Noodles ($8.95) that resembled thin ramen strands with some assorted vegetables mixed in for color. The dish possessed my two least favorite cooking styles, greasy and bland. Try instead the Chow Fun with black bean sauce if you decide to eat here.

Well, here was one of those rare evenings where the experience and company was all that mattered. The newlyweds enjoyed their lobster dish and performed wonderfully as guests on the radio show. Miss A and I wondered what we'll be eating on our wedding night. . .. Stay tuned. •

ARIES (March 21 -Apn'l 19): This would be a pretty good week to rise at 4 a.m. to confess your sins and say prayers for two hours before beginning a volunteer job cleaning up trash from d1e side of a highway, and men showing up to help out at a homeless kitchen for a while before heading over to work where you put in 10 hours not only doing your own job with 110 percent conscientiousness, but also trying to compensate for your fellow employees' mistakes and laziness. And it would be an absolutely fantastic week if you did all the above and men came home at night to enjoy scintillating sex wid1 a soul-nurturing wild ming.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Our teaching staff here at Real Astrology, Inc. (many of whom are graduates of Sesame Street) asked me to tell you mat this week i~ brought to you by me letter T and the gumber 2. Here are a few of me most important ''T'' words for you to master: togememess, tantalize, telepad1-ic, tickle, trust, tasty, tapestry, tenderness, turbocharge, teamwork. And to improve your skill in applying me meanings of me number 2, we suggest mat you meditate on balance, interdependence and collaboration.

GEMINI (May 21 -June 20): [Warning: I do not personally endorse any of me taunts I am about to hurl at you. Designed by my insult consultant Ann Salyer, mey're offered with comic love, in me hope that mey will inoculate you against me truly mean d1ings mat some of the people in your life might fling at you in me week ahead.] "You grotesque vat of grisly buffalo chips. You ugly lump of sloshy weasel warts. You ungodly crock of dusky shark snot. You feeble-minded ball of wormy swamp mud. You clueless mass of mealy tripe. You demented tub of defective pig hickies. You bewildered loaf of spoiled fish lips."

BY ROB BREZSNY

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• CANCER (lune 21 -July 22): I love November. The llm monm always infuses me wim a sweet creative frenzy. Songs and poems and oracles pour out of me as if I'm mainlining muse juice. I can dance till dawn wimout the boost of a single cup of coffee. I have an unfailing sense of how to get and give far more man me usual amounts of love. To what do I attribute mese blessings? Well, one explanation is astrological. I believe mat most Cancerians, myself included , are subject to maximum eruptions of me sex, drugs and rock 'n ' roll vibe at this time of year. So whatcha waiting for, my fellow Crabs? Get out mere and be like me.

LEO (!uly 23 - Aug. 22): Location, location, location: It's important in real estate, and it's crucial in your life this week. Being in me right place at me right time should be your obsession, your magical goal. Likewise, you should try to arrange for every showdown and negotiation to transpire on your home turf. Finally, make sure you're always where you've said you'll be, and try to build credibility for your positions by surrounding yourself with heavyweights.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You can and should compare apples and oranges this week, Virgo. You can and should invite Catholics and Protestants from Northern Ireland to me same party,

and you can and should juggle flaming bowling pins while recreating me Mona Lisa widl a paintbrush mat you wield wim your teem. There's no telling what implausible reconciliations you can pull off, what odd but beautiful juxtapositions you can make look smart and easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): It's National Chemistry Week for you Libras. Or at least I wish it were. Then maybe you'd agree to tone down the prodigious output of your superbrain just a little so that your poor neglected gut could have its say. And mat would be in righteous alignment wim me mood of me astrological forces coming to bear on you right now. How about it, wise guy/gal? Would you be willing to seek out connections based on raw chemistry, not on contrived duty or strategic value? Would you consider me possibility mat for a brief time me visceral will be preferable to me intellectual? I hope so. Here's your slogan for me week: "Deam to me shoulds!"

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Many Scorpio readers are shocked by how friendly I am towards your tribe. They're so used to being slammed and stigmatized by oilier astrologers, mey can hardly believe I'm sincere in my praise and respect. But I am. And here's a secret mat helps explain why: I lived inside the womb of a Scorpio woman for me first nine months of my life. That's right: My momer is me same sign as you. And I've

been very pleased with the gifts she's bestowed on me all mese years: her deep, dark vein of tenacious love, her deep, dark vein of healing power, her deep, dark vein of pragmatic compassion and her deep, dark vein of spiritual devotion. Happy birthday, Mom. Thanks for providing a role model mat's inspired me to recognize and bring out the best in Scorpios everywhere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): You will not be afraid of the dark this week. I repeat: You WILL NOT be afraid of yourself. Nor will you fear beady eyes mat seem to be staring back at you from me mirror, or funny litde curses mat fly out of your mourn at me most inopportune moments. You will especially not be intimidated by your own shadow, your evil twin or your tendency to keep doing me right ming so far beyond me time it's appropriate that it's no longer me right ming. Be brave, Sagittarius - braver man you've ever been in your life. Be so brave mat you will stand up to yourself, even when you scare yourself silly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 -Jan. 19): You are me difficult wizard, Capricorn -me bracing revelation whose tumult ushers in fresh, sweet order. You are the whirlwind mat destroys mose mings mat need to be destroyed, and the medicine mat tests and tempers as it cures. You are me ringer of bells and the maker of myms,

me catcher of falling stars and me only one who could possibly get away widl tickling me sleeping dragon's tummy. So be our dogged and inspired champion, 0 winsome one. Figure out what no one has been able to make sense of in over a mousand days.

AQUARIUS (fan. 20 -Feb. 18): Among me many mysteries about me preColumbian Mayans, me greatest is mat mey did not use the wheel. This might be more understandable had mey been a primitive people. But in fact mey were brilliant astronomers and mamematicians wid1 a complex form of writing mat has still not been completely deciphered. Furthermore, they built good roads between meir cities, and some of meir children's toys used wheels! I bring this up, Aquarius, because it reminds me of you. As aud1oritative and competent as you are right now, you're also ignoring an obvious resource which would make you even more authoritative and competent. It's high time to end your artificial handicap.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20): The notion that there's a liberal bias in me mass media arouses great merriment in me. I'm as lefty as mey come, but me last time I saw an issue framed in a way mat reflects my prejudices was, well, never. What I find instead is mostly grossly oversimplified uber-gossip and nihilistic storytelling disguised as journalism. Coverage of me people I call heroes is so rare that me mention of one of them in Time magazine or me Washington Post sends me into seizures of joy. My hidden agenda in telling you all this, Pisces, is to inspire you to rise up and do what I just did: Reject me conventional wisdom whim is most oppressive to your personal life, and home in on your own gleefully rebellious intuition of me raw trud1.
