Alive from Maui

The news comes alive when the world can tune into Maui and meet the people making a difference on our island.

by: The staff of the Maui Weekly

Under a spectacular sunset, Joey Gallup explains her position on the current controversy surrounding the candidacy of her husband, Cort Gallup, on the new live TV news show originating from Maui on the Internet. Shown above is Joseph Sugarman, show host,
The first live Maui Internet News broadcast took place on Thursday, Oct. 7, on Keawakapu Beach. The weekly news and interview show called Alive from Maui and hosted by former editor and publisher of the Maui Weekly, Joseph Sugarman, featured several interviews with people who were either making the news, reporting it or simply representing an interesting aspect of island life.

In the 45-minute broadcast, reporters from the Maui Weekly talked about some of the stories they had covered during the past week.

Debra Lordan, the new editor of the paper, talked about the latest big cat sighting and how often she receives calls at the newspaper from people who have seen the animal. “Many people are too intimidated to even give their name when they see the big cat for fear of being considered weird,” says Lordan. She feels there is definitely a big cat roaming Maui.

Sugarman then brought big-cat expert and South Maui resident, Kathy Flood, on camera to talk about her Bengal cats—small cats that look very much like miniature leopards. She confirmed Lordan’s opinion that, indeed, a big cat is loose on Maui and felt that it is probably a black leopard. Flood also discussed the lineage, breeding, and evolution of her Bengal cats. She had one with her to show the viewers. Flood can be reached at 879-8485.

Dr. Alex Loyd from Nashville, who has been vacationing recently on Maui, also appeared on the show. Loyd has developed a new healing approach that individuals can use on themselves to cure what previously was considered impossible-to-cure disease. While on Maui he gave lectures and distributed information about his method and he talked about some of the results that were being experienced. He described one woman who cured herself of migraine head-aches in just a few minutes—something she had suffered for the past 20 years. Loyd also talked about a cancer patient who is now in remission, thanks to his technique. Loyd can be reached by calling 891-2233.

Political candidate Cort Gallup appeared on the show with his new bride, Joey, and explained how they met and fell in love. They also said that the recent article in the Maui Weekly about Cort’s disappearance was incorrect and that even though he has not been served papers by the sheriff’s deputy as part of a lawsuit, he was in touch with the deputy and had not disappeared as the paper suggested. Incidentally, the state supreme court on Friday dropped the case on a technicality.

Sky Barnhart, a Maui Weekly writer, talked about her experiences on Maui covering news stories. Barnhart was the reporter who covered the big drug bust on Maui in which 13 were arrested for smuggling ice into Maui—the Maui Weekly’s headline story last week.

Tanner Watt, a technical representative of the Apple dealer on Maui, MacNet, talked about the new live video system and how it would allow live news broadcasts on the Internet such as the one being broadcast from Maui. Tanner can be reached at MacNet at 893-8484.

Finally, Ed Elkin, a local resident whom the Maui Weekly wrote about recently, calling him “Globalman,” talked about his upcoming presentations. He also discussed his experiences on Maui and how he got here 15 years ago.

Due to technical difficulties, the first 10 minutes of the show were not broadcast, so many missed part of the interview with Dr. Loyd. If you did miss any part of the show, it will be archived on the mauiqueen.com Web site, according to Klaus Bandisch, the producer of the show and the owner of the Web site that broadcasts the program.

“It was fun seeing the names we’ve been reading about in the Maui Weekly come alive on the air,” said one viewer. Those who missed the live inaugural news show will be able to catch it every Thursday at 6 p.m. by going to www.mauiqueen.com.

According to Sugarman, “Anything can happen during a live show but this went quite smoothly.”

Next Thursday, at 6 p.m., Alive from Maui will broadcast again with a completely new show covering some of the questions from viewers on the sale of the Maui Weekly. Ron Winckler will discuss the paper’s history and a few surprise guests will make their appearances as well. So stay tuned to Alive from Maui.

Live Maui Broadcast

First use of the Internet to broadcast live Maui news throughout the world will originate on Maui. The world may tune in next Thursday.

Maui is about to make history. Starting this next Thursday, the first live news broadcast to be made on the Internet will originate from Maui.

Maui newspaper publisher, Joseph Sugarman, will host the 6 p.m.HST broadcast of the news program which will feature live interviews with local personalities and businesses will host the 6 p.m. HST news broadcast.

Called "Alive from Maui", the show will be a live audio and video broadcast from the Internet according to Klaus Bandisch, producer of the show. “There has been streaming video, live webcams and plenty of other examples of the use of video and audio but never to mine knowledge has there been a live news broadcast the way we intend to do it. Even CNN does not do live broadcasts but rather post-broadcasts.”

Live broadcasting has been made possible by new free software created by Apple's freeware that allows for the live broadcast of news.

Apple is very interested in seeing their new software (freeware) become the standard for this type of broadcast and may be linking to the site from their website, www.apple.com.

Sugarman, current publisher of this paper will be the show’s host. He has been on live TV through years of appearances on the QVC home shopping network where he sold his line of BluBlocker sunglasses. He also produced 13 infomercials and has been on national TV for the past 20 years.

“I think this is a major break to let the world know about some of the great things Maui has to offer and to pre-sell many of our visitors to the island,” says Sugarman.

Those being interviewed will include local government leaders, business owners and local personalities who have made a big difference on Maui according to Sugarman. “Our first show will be a non-scripted broadcast that we hope will capture the real excitement of living and working on Maui.”

The inaugural broadcast will take place this next Thursday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. Hawai‘i time. Mark that date in your calendar, turn on your computer and witness the very first live news broadcast—and all coming from the beautiful shores of Maui, Hawaii.

To tune in to the broadcast, go to www.mauiqueen.com and click on “inews.” Help us make history.
