Chef Paris Nabavi’s Sangrita Grill and Cantina reinvents Mexican on Maui

July 30, 2014 by Jen Russo 27 Comments

There was a collective sigh of dismay when Cilantro closed its doors in Lahaina but Chef/owner Paris Nabavi was just off to bigger and better things–that would be Sangrita Grill and Cantina in Ka’anapali. The cantina was years in the making, and Cilantro was a stepping stone to this beautiful upscale Mexican eatery. Fans of Cilantro […]

2013 MauiTIme Local Gift Guide

December 12, 2013 by Jen Russo Leave a Comment

By now, we’re all much too familiar with the horror stories of Christmas shopping. Big Box retailers here and on the Mainland are cramped, frantic places even without the holiday pressure. Why do we put up with endless lines in parking lots and checkstands, to say nothing of aisles and aisles filled with junk made […]

2013 MauiTime Charity Gift Guide

November 28, 2013 by Leave a Comment

We live in tough times for nonprofit organizations. Government spending is drying up, and that means they’re increasingly being forced to take up the slack. Otherwise, the neediest individuals in society will be left on their own. Year in and year out, we’ve watched these charitable organizations attempt to do more with less funds. Even […]

Talking Story With New Maui County Auditor Lance Taguchi About His Plans And Why It Is Taking Him So Long To Get Started

November 21, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

One of the little observed results of the 2012 election on Maui was the decisive approval of a Charter Commission proposal calling for a County Auditor. While not the sexiest job around, a decisive majority of voters (54 percent to 29 percent) voted to bring Maui County into the 20th century and hire an independent […]

Maui Filmmaker Brian Kohne Talks Story About His New Suspense Thriller Kuleana

November 14, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Standing in his living room, Brian Kohne has a view right out of a movie. The house–which Kohne calls “Malama Pono”–is in Wailuku Heights, and from there he can take in everything between Kahului Harbor, Kihei and Upcountry. At night, with all of Central Maui’s streetlights illuminated, the house must seem like one of those […]

New Lawsuit Alleges That Convicted Criminal And Former Hawaiian Homelands Commissioner Perry Artates Of Makawao Took Part In Crazy Financial Shenanigans At Operating Engineers Local 3 Union On Oahu

November 7, 2013 by Malia Zimmerman Leave a Comment

Hit men, Yakuza, the Hells Angels, the Chinese crime syndicate and Hawaii politicians–these may sound like characters coming together in a bad episode of Hawaii 5-0, but they’re actually mentioned in myriad allegations listed in a new lawsuit against 67 labor leaders and entities from Local 3 on Oahu. According to the lawsuit, which was […]

Why go to horror movies with serial killers and demons when you’ve got plenty of frightening characters right here on Maui? Here’s a baker’s dozen of scary public officials, criminals and cops who will haunt you long after Halloween ends… 13.

Maui Police To Overun Lahaina Halloween Festivities With Legions Of Zombie Cops And Other Scary Tales

October 24, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

So on my desk right now are two copies of the latest press release from the Maui Police Department (otherwise known as news stories from The Maui News and Maui Now). Both stories are basically the same, repeating the same fear-mongering from the police about this year’s Halloween festival in Lahaina without any independent reporting […]

2013 MauiTime Bar Guide

October 17, 2013 by Jen Russo Leave a Comment

Booze is a tricky thing. We’re living in a kind of Liquor Renaissance, but on Maui we have to tiptoe around the draconian rules of our county Department of Liquor Control. The mixology revival may merely be a backlash against the pre-bottled convenience mixes of the 1970s and ‘80s, or perhaps it ties sustainable farm-to-table […]

The New Wes Bruce Art Exhibit At The Maui Arts And Cultural Center Will Exercise Your Imagination

October 10, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

True art makes you rethink your assumptions about the world. It makes you think about the world. It forces you to use your imagination and ask questions about what you know–and why you know–various things we call “truths.” In a nation governed by capitalist free market impulses that commodify everything, true art remains assertively non-commercial. […]

As the Hawaii Legislature prepares to vote on same sex marriage the island LGBTQ community comes together to celebrate Maui Pride

October 3, 2013 by Jen Russo Leave a Comment

The annual Maui Pride Festivities always provide great excitement for our island’s LGBTQ community, but this year has much greater significance. In June the U.S. Supreme Court finally struck down the Defense of Marriage laws, and later this month our own state Legislature convenes for a Special Session on the issue of legalizing same-sex marriage. […]

September 26, 2013 by Barry Wurst II Leave a Comment

Haiku isn’t known to be the birthplace of great filmmakers, but that’s about to change, permanently. Local boy Destin Cretton grew up there and his dreams of becoming a high caliber filmmaker have come true in a profound way. His critically acclaimed comedy/drama Short Term 12 stars Brie Larson as a worker at a foster […]

Peace One Day is a grassroots organization with the goal of bringing about a World Peace Day on Saturday, Sept. 21, already known as the International Day of Peace. There will be events all over the planet on that day, including right here on Maui. Peace Day Maui is a free, family-oriented event that will […]

We Look At The New University of Hawaii Research Into Mercury Levels In Fish Caught in Hawaiian Waters And Ask If It Should Concern You

September 12, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

It’s not everyday that we get a press release that contains the words “exciting” and “mercury” in the same sentence. But that’s what happened a couple weeks ago, and we have the University of Hawaii public information office to thank for it. “Mercury–a common industrial toxin–is carried through the atmosphere before settling on the ocean […]

We talk story with Maui Public Defender Wendy Hudson on her office limitations and caseload and what to do when you get arrested

September 5, 2013 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

The Maui Police Department has a brand new armored truck. State law conceals the identities of active duty police officers who’ve been busted by Internal Affairs. Filming a cop on a public street–an act protected by the U.S. Constitution and has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court–will get you arrested and charged with a […]
