QUOTE ADJUSTMENT I was recently quoted in the article “The Plantation & The People” [October 22]. I think Maui Time did an excellent job covering the tone and feel of the night. I was, however, slightly misquoted. The article read: “Eliza Goodhue said her grandmother fought for water rights in New England many years ago. […]
WE DON’T WANT TO HEAR ‘LINGLE’ AND ‘BUSH’ IN THE SAME SENTENCE Lingle’s ineptitude in managing our money is legendary. As you point out, she spends millions planning the new prison and then abruptly yanks it because many people have pointed out things that need to be changed in the plan [Coconut Wireless, October 1]. […]
SUCCESS STORY Mahalo plenty for writing this article [“Keiki Care,” September 24]. Misinformation has spread rampantly and FOX’s story was not fair, balanced or accurate. Rollover from the HMSA Children’s Plan was a one-time event when Keiki Care started. After that most kids were required to be uninsured at least six consecutive months. The plan […]
‘100 PERCENT INAPPROPRIATE’ The September 10 Eh Brah! Is 100 percent inappropriate. This column has provided laughs and entertainment for years, but it is not the place to report actual incidents of men abusing their daughters. That is highly inappropriate, and could only have been perpetrated by irresponsible men. First of all, the person who […]
APATHY: THE REAL ROOT OF ALL EVIL I say bull to the editor’s assertion that insurance companies are at the root of our national health care problems [Coconut Wireless, September 13]. Are government-licensed corporations the guilty ones because they bribe legislators? Or are the legislators taking the bribes the guilty ones? Maybe it’s the electorate, […]
Last week’s feature about The Throwdowns inspired a lot of feedback. Here’s a sampling: I attended The Throwdowns’ CD release party knowing nothing about the band and I was completely blown away. Erin is like a Hayley Williams/Gwen Stefani type with a more interesting voice and more of an indie-rock cool. The other three band […]
ALL THAT JAZZ Re the feature on Requests Music [“Last Requests,” August 20]: As an old jazz singer, I must tell you I had the pleasure of dropping by Requests one day and to my surprise, a treasure chest of jazz was dropped off seconds before my arrival. The gem stones in that ol‘ box […]
The first two parts of our series, “Revisiting the Visitor Industry,” sparked a lot of feedback. Here’s a sampling: While I enjoyed Doug Levin’s article in general, the section regarding technology on Maui was so far off base I was compelled to write. Maui has a very vibrant technology sector, which includes many hi-tech start-ups, […]
A&B RESPONDS Alexander & Baldwin has voluntarily designated nearly 27,000 acres of lands on Maui and 3,770 acres on Kauai as Important Agricultural Lands, dedicating them to agricultural use. The July 23 Rob Report gives readers the impression that, related to this designation, A&B would be seeking “fast track reclassification” incentives for certain parcels on […]
‘A TRUE CLASSIC’ Hooray for Ole, a true inspiration [“Giving Shape,” July 23]. He’s always had lots of respect, especially at Mala. He was in the Kimo’s contest last year where he had some great waves, and when he came in he had a huge smile on his face, getting heads up from everyone there, […]
WAXING ABOUT WAYNE Thank you for highlighting Wayne Moniz on the cover [“The Storyteller,” July 16]. It’s recognition well deserved for such a talented writer! Linda, posted at mauitime.com A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW Re last week’s Eh Brah! about the lady and her boyfriend who almost got hit by the white Ford Ranger: I […]
Here is just some of the feedback we’ve received in response to our 2009 Best of Maui issue (Jul. 9). Some of you were stoked with the results, and some of you thought your fellow Mauians missed a thing or two – or may be guilty of ballot stuffing (something we very actively sought to […]
ACID REFLUX With the recent publication of the cover story “Bad Chemistry” [June 18], Maui Time continues to demonstrate that they are poor guardians of the independent truth necessary to propagate the intelligent arguments that separate the polar ideologies that currently dominate our political landscape. Ms. Bradshaw’s synopsis of the documentary A Sea Change and its explanation of the mechanisms leading to ocean acidification […]
CULTURE WARS Re the proposed solar telescope on Haleakala [“Trouble in the House of the Sun,” June 11]: The ancient Hawaiians used their mountains for—what? Observing space and the sun. Haleakala—the “house of the sun”—was used to honor and observe the sun, folks. So tradition continues. “Honoring the ‘aina” is always a slogan that “Native […]
MEAT OF THE MATTER Rob, your latest column was a beauty [Rob Report, June 4]. I have been a vegetarian for almost 40 years and have tried to avoid preaching or sounding high and mighty about it. My daughter, also a vegetarian, bought a T-shirt that said, “Everyone hates a Vegetarian.” Just by being we […]
LIFE’S A CHEECH (AND CHONG) Re the Cheech and Chong interview [“Still smokin’,” May 28]: I was laughing out loud at work. Lucky I’m the boss. Great interview, great questions to lead these guys to answer in such funny ways. I am e-mailing this to everyone! Dan Slaven, posted at mauitime.com FLEA OH MY I respect […]
