NEWS BRIEFS

A Baggage-Fee Revolt?

I

f you fly even occasionally, you’ve probably given up grumbling about baggage fees. Like leg cramps, turbulence and only getting half the soda, you’ve accepted them as an unavoidable air-travel annoyance. And that’s exactly how the airlines want it. For them, baggage fees are big money. How big? According to data from the federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics, U.S. airlines have collected more than $2.5 billion in baggage fees so far this year, a 23 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Delta was by far the feecollection leader, raking in $733.2 million.

Hawaiian was near the middle of the pack with a still-staggering $40.3 million.

“These ancillary revenues are making airlines profitable,” an industry consultant told CNN. “But it’s the name of the game. People are paying it, people aren’t revolting, and so they’ll be there forever.”

Considering the borderline-revolt passengers are engaged in over TSA’s invasive screening procedures, that almost sounds like a dare.

Charter Group: Abolish LC Board

T

his week, the West Maui Charter Working Group—a collection of residents “from diverse professional, political and social backgrounds”—released a set of recommendations for amending the County Charter. Among them: do away with the Department of Liquor Control’s Adjudication Board.

The Adjudication Board, as anyone who follows our LC Watch column knows, considers the cases of bars and restaurants brought up on rules violations (over-serving, serving to a minor) and doles out punishment, while the Liquor Commission deals with rule-making and

Like leg cramps, turbulence and only getting half the soda, you’ve accepted baggage fees as an unavoidable air-travel annoyance. And that’s exactly how the airlines want it. licensing matters. “Currently the Liquor Adjudication Board and Liquor Control Commission are primarily composed of members who were previously members of the other board, some alternating in this fashion several times,” wrote the West Maui group (this “revolving door” phenomenon is something we’ve also noted in the past).

“This eliminates the primary purpose of separating these functions [and] produces redundancy and inefficiency.”

Some of the group’s other recommendations include: doing away with countywide voting for the County Council and creating nine single-member districts (an idea that was brought forward

by Councilmember Jo Anne Johnson earlier this year before being quashed in committee); handing administrative duties for the county over to a County Manager and making the Mayor the “ceremonial, non-voting” chair of the Council; and creating a new office, separate from Corporation Counsel, to offer legal advice to the Council and various boards and commissions.

Friends of the paper, you’ve been warned: send a welcoming party to your mailbox because the coolest postcard you’ll get all season is on its way…

s a new gubernatorial administration takes the reins on Oahu, the state Judiciary is crying poor. The court system’s slice of the general fund has been slashed by nearly $20 million, or 13 percent, according to a report released this week.

“These reductions have had substantial negative effects throughout the judicial system, by reducing, delaying and in some cases eliminating important services,” wrote Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald in the report, unsubtly titled “Justice in Jeopardy.”

The report also points out that general fund appropriations go disproportionately to one branch of government: the legislature and courts get about 3 percent, with the remaining 97 percent going to the executive branch.

The lack of money impacts everything from divorce proceedings to civil complaints to supervision of paroled criminals. “Adequately funding the state court system is an investment in justice,” concludes Recktenwald, “and an investment in our democracy that should not be compromised even during tough economic times.” ■

Planting Hope

NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

SOUTH MAUIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S #1 TOP RATED NAIL SALON

Can a permaculture group on Molokai grow a sustainable future for us all?

I

Tell us about the roots of Sust â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina ble Molokai.

Sustainability is about looking at our relationship with the Earth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aina,â&#x20AC;? roughly translated, means landâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it really is about the reciprocal relationship between the people and the land, and our kuleana to malama our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina. For us, Sust â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina ble Molokai is about our responsibility to care for the Earth, and essentially began when Molokai Ranch laid off all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workers. To me, it was like the community was being pitted against itself, and I was really concerned about the way things were becoming ugly around points of controversy. A community or family pitted against itself will always lose, and I wanted people to see that if we continued to operate in that way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always be a zero-sum. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of healing our community needs to do, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing on that path.

Molokai is in the piko of the island chainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and we really speak from our gutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Molokaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation from ancient times was as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina momona, meaning the fat or abundant land. We have a history as an island of staving off resort development, and a lot of the birthing of the Hawaiian movement happened on Molokai. An interesting thing to note about Molokai is that because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a long airport runway and [there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t] a place where international flights come, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very fortunate to not be exposed to certain plant pests and diseases that exist on other islands. For example, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only place in the state that grows organic papaya and we have a market with Whole Foods and other vendors nationwide. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tremendous opportunity for farmers to take advantage of the biological purity that we have.

What was the goal of this course series?

As we look at sustainability, we have to create food security. Hawaii is the most energy-insecure state and imports 85-90 percent of our food. Working with our community partners to create food security for all of Hawaii, [what] weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do is see Molokai become a living canoe for the traditional Hawaiian food crops, among others. If we begin to re-seed our mountains and create food forests, planting the best varieties for the climate, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the ecosystems will thriveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thrive.

We wanted to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;training the trainerâ&#x20AC;? platform for local residents until we created a strong base of permaculture knowledge to do earth repairâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially from the damage of overgrazing and conventional agriculture, where mono crops and chemicals totally degrade and acidify the soil.

Why is permaculture important and how have these concepts been implemented so far?

Permaculture is really about a lifestyle and holistic way of thinking. The first step is to observe.You have to look at the wild energy going through your property and with land diagnostics asses what resources are on hand.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about diversity. When you have a diverse amount of organisms, you are able to create stability and resilience in a system. In the past, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked at only planting native pants. We have to change our thinking to realize that a lot of our native plants were not exposed to the kinds of extreme conditions we have today.

To help the native plants along, you must use non-native companion planting to bring the native ecosystem back. Pioneer species are hardy and can begin to repair the soil. As the land begins to recover, these plants die off or reduce in their number, and the prominent, productive trees flourish. For example, haole koa may be thought of as a pest, but it is in fact a nitrogen-fixing plant and has a deep-set

root system that draws up minerals from the soil. We learned about how and what plants benefit each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like what plants provide more nutrients to the soil and can be used as living mulch, what plants repel aphids, nematodes and fruit flies, and how some plants can even act as a living fence and protect other plants from foraging animals.

We also learned a lot of practical, handson gardening skills like sheet mulching and measuring the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pH. Geoff Lawton teaches about creating edible food forests and swales that harvest and divert rain water.

A great way to learn more about the specifcs is to watch his YouTube video, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greening the Desert,â&#x20AC;? where he transformed the most barren desert landscapes into healthy selfperpetuating ecosystems.

How soon do you hope to see your efforts come to fruition?

Healing the land will take a number of years. But the day after we finished our swale the big rain came and we got to watch it fill up with water. That was really cool.

Because we really want to focus on local peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially kids who will carry out this lifestyleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the last day of our classes, we went to the high school and taught 200 students about permaculture. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with teachers and administrators to incorporate it into the curriculum. There hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been an agricultural program for many years and they want to revive that.

But of everything I think the most exciting thing we learned was that it is possible. It will take time, but if it can be done in dessert places that are not as blessed as we are, the hope for what we can achieve is very moving. â&#x2013;

n addition to having a clever name, Sust â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina ble Molokai is a grassroots organization that advocates sustainability with a modern twist, while honoring cultural traditions.

Partnering with the Alu Like Ho`ala Houâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a substance abuse prevention program that helps at-risk youth through therapeutic farmingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the national Permaculture Research Institute, Sust â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina ble Molokai recently concluded a four-course, three-month series of intensive, hands-on permaculture workshops. Under the tutelage of internationally known experts Geoff Lawton and his wife Nadine, Andrew Jones, Shenaqua Sookhoo-Jones and Hunter Heaivilin, local students did permacutlure work on the Ho`ala Houâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-acre site in Mahana.

“Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome.”

FOWL PHALLUSES

Alabama is the only remaining state to ban the sale of sex toys, but nevertheless the Huntsville shop Pleasures recently expanded by moving to a former bank building in order to use three drive-thru windows to sell dildos. Since state law prohibits the sale unless used for “bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purposes,” customers must provide a brief written description of their medical or other “legitimate” condition in order to make the purchase.

Researcher Patricia Brennan of Yale University told a conference in July that a duck’s penis may vary in length from year to year—depending on their competition that year. Their penises waste away after each mating season and regrow, and Brennan found that they regrow longer if there are other males around. (Female ducks are known to have corkscrew-shaped vaginas, and thus a centimeter or two can make a big difference for success in mating.)

DEAD END JOB

Researchers at the University of Queensland revealed in November that parrot fish, which reside on Australia's reefs and need protection from blood-sucking, lice-like parasites, shelter themselves at bedtime with blankets of "snot." Typically, the fish's mouth-slobber, once it starts dribbling out, takes about an hour to ooze into place.

Wei Xinpeng, 55, a boatman in a village near industrial Lanzhou, China, collects bodies from the Yellow River (the murdered, the suicides, the accidentally drowned), offering them back to grieving relatives for a price.

Distraught visitors pay a small browsing fee to check his inventory and then, if they identify a loved one, up to the equivalent of $500 to take the corpse home. Said Wei, “I bring dignity to the dead.” No overstatement for him, since his own son drowned in the river and was never recovered.

PUKE OCCURRENCE Sharon Wilson of Doncaster, England, finally got a worthwhile answer for her nearly 10-year odyssey through a range of doctors’ complicated misdiagnoses. She had complained of many, many days when she vomited more than 100 times, at “almost exactly” 10-minute intervals. The previous diagnosis was a tumor in her pituitary gland, but another specialist nailed it:

SLIME PREVENTION

Eh lady at the playground who disciplined my son...thanks!

Seriously. A lot of people get offended by that, but you were right on: he was being a little jerk (like all kids can be) and I was busy with my daughter. Other parents—or big brothers and sisters, or concerned adults—should step in when appropriate, but a lot of times they don’t because of all the overprotective moms and dads out there who think their keiki are the only ones on Earth who’ve never done a thing wrong. I’d honestly give other people permission to smack my progeny upside the head once in a while—but maybe that’d be going too far. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1426e

DOES THAT MAKE IT BETTER OR WORSE? In November, at a burglary scene near Seneca, South Carolina, deputies found Noah Smith, 31, naked and apparently drugged, perhaps on hallucinogenic mushrooms, and with a string-like object protruding from his buttocks. Smith was X-rayed, revealing (according to the deputies’ report, which made its way to the Internet) that the object in his rectum was a “mouse.” However, several days later, the sheriff’s office clarified that the object was a “computer mouse.” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1426n

DESPITE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE, MANY STILL HAVEN’T WOKEN UP TO THE DANGERS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. ARE ENVIRONMENTALISTS PARTLY TO BLAME?

BY ERIC WELTMAN

WHEN BP’S DEEPWATER HORIZON RIG EXPLODED on April 20, killing 11 workers, the ensuing environmental crisis could have been a transformative moment for our nation’s energy policy. It wasn’t.

In the midst of widespread public outrage against the oil industry, years of effort by environmental organizations culminated in the Senate’s failure to vote on a bill to combat climate change and spark a transition to renewable energy. Nor did the Senate approve needed reforms to the Oil Pollution Act that would eliminate the liability cap on oil companies.

The lack of results revealed tensions within the movement—differences revealed in climate change legislation that many environmentalists were glad to see die.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL ‘ENTHUSIASM GAP’

I

n 2006, Fred Krupp, head of the Environmental Defense Fund, forged a coalition with business leaders to break the logjam on climate change legislation. The U.S. Climate Action Partnership included Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy, one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, as well as BP, General

10 DECEMBER 16, 2010

Electric and DuPont. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Nature Conservancy also joined the coalition, but industry’s influence was such that, as Eric Pooley reported in Bloomberg Businessweek, at one point Rogers was “basically negotiating with himself.”

Then in 2008, a newly elected Barack Obama declared that “delay is no longer an option” on climate change, making energy legislation one of his top

nuclear power and expanded offshore drilling.

To the ire of many environmentalists, the Senate bill eliminated the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases.

This was, in effect, says Greenpeace lobbyist Kyle Ash, “giving away existing tools that work in exchange for policies we don’t know work.” The biggest handout of all, though, came in the form of pollution credits that Obama had proposed auctioning off but that the Senate bill would have provided to industry free of charge.

Krupp had assured Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham in October 2009 that environmentalists would be flexible on most other energy issues as long as the Senate legislation maintained the House emission reduction targets, according to Ryan Lizza, writing in The New Yorker. It was a spirit of generosity toward industry reflected by Democrat and one-time Presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry, one of the bill’s chief sponsors, who announced in June, “We believe we have compromised significantly, and we’re prepared to compromise further.”

However, some in the movement took sharp aim at industry’s heavy hand in crafting the legislation. Moreover, activists charged that neither the House nor Senate bills would prevent climate catastrophe. “It wasn’t in line with what science is telling us we have to do,” said May Boeve of 350. org, a grassroots organization founded by author Bill McKibben. Climate Reality Check, a coalition including Greenpeace, Public Citizen and Friends of the Earth, faulted the legislation for falling “very short” of what is necessary to reduce greenhouse gasses to safe levels.

The legislation was the product of a strategy “to get the bill across the finish line by putting something in that takes care of every part of the opposition,” said Betsy Taylor, co-founder of 1Sky, a climate change advocacy group.

The insider approach, charged some critics, also led advocates to take too much of their lead from the White House, particularly around messaging. At an April 2009 meeting, Carol Browner, Obama’s energy czar, told environmentalists not to publicly discuss climate change but to focus on green jobs and energy independence.

An Obama campaign operative, Paul Tewes, was brought in to run Clean Energy Works, a coalition created to coordinate advocacy around the bill, adopting the slogan “More Jobs. Less Pollution. Greater Security.”

The result was an “enthusiasm gap” among environmental activists. “It wasn’t the kind of policy that would motivate the base of the climate change movement to really fight for it,” said Boeve.

On March 31, Obama announced plans to expand offshore drilling, part of a grand bargain to get the bill through the Senate, according to Antonia Juhasz, author of The Tyranny of Oil and director of Global Exchange’s energy program.

domestic priorities. With a Democraticcontrolled Congress, environmentalists saw a “golden opportunity,” said one funder, and poured resources into Washington to pass a climate change bill.

The resulting legislation reflected this insider approach. The House narrowly approved the Waxman-Markey bill in June 2009, while a Senate version didn’t emerge until May of this year. When it did, it was loaded with giveaways, including subsidies for

DISASTER IN THE GULFâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;AND THE BELTWAY

T

hree weeks later, the Deepwater Horizon exploded.

Environmental organizations quickly mobilized. Greenpeace and NRDC sent staff to the Gulf to conduct independent assessments and provide media commentary. The Sierra Club organized rallies at dozens of BP stations across the country, while more than 180,000 members e-mailed Obama, urging his leadership in reducing the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliance on oilâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;their largest-ever response to a call to action.

Meanwhile, in Washington, the disaster made things â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little more complicated,â&#x20AC;? said Ash. In the midst of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest oil spill, environmentalists had a weak climate change bill that promoted oil drilling. At the same time, polls showed that the public didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;cap-and-tradeâ&#x20AC;? system for reducing emissionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a system that was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too complex to explain,â&#x20AC;? as Brent Blackwelder, former president of Friends of the Earth, put it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public anger was there, the frustration was thereâ&#x20AC;? to achieve a sweeping change in energy policy, claims John Hocevar of Greenpeace, but what the environmental movement didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do â&#x20AC;&#x153;was adequately give people constructive outlets for their anger and outrage.â&#x20AC;?

In the wake of the disaster, energy was the top issue among Democracy for America members, political director Charles Chamberlain told The Hill, a Washington newsletter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we polled our members about whether we should be fighting for the bill and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even close. The answer was no.â&#x20AC;?

Juhasz notes the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocates had accepted expanded offshore drilling in exchange for oil industry support.

Consequently, Boeve says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Environmental groups werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to vilify the oil companies and the senators who love them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made a deal with the devil, and the devil walked away from the table,â&#x20AC;?

Juhasz says. Lacking sufficient votes, Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on July 22 that the Senate wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take up the bill. With Republicans in control of the House after the November 2 election, prospects for passing climate legislation have only worsened.

POST-MORTEM?

A

fter five years, fewer Americans now believe that man-made climate change is real,â&#x20AC;? said Denis Hayes, president of the Bullitt Foundation and organizer of the first Earth Day in 1970. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have a postmortem after that.â&#x20AC;?

Some in the movement have concluded that it would be better not to have to rely on the fossil fuel industry to pass a climate â&#x20AC;&#x153;

THE REAL VILLAINS

change bill. The basic problem is a lack of political power. Blackwelder puts it this way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not posing a threat to oust members of Congress.â&#x20AC;?

The solution, he believes, is building a movement that can play hardball.

The Sierra Club has been radicalized, some say, under new Executive Director Michael Brune, who took the helm in March with a greater focus on corporate power. The Sierra Club, with 64 local chapters, is the most grassroots-based of the national organizations and responded to the BP disaster by calling on Obama to create a plan to move the nation off oil within 20 years.

McKibbenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 350.org is also mobilizing the grassroots. On October 10, the organization sponsored a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Global Work Party,â&#x20AC;? with 7,347 events in 188 countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from filmscreenings to letter-writingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;calling for political action on climate change.

It is work that may benefit from a shift in focus, away from the Beltway and toward a broader base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not an environmental issue,â&#x20AC;? says Kelsey Wirth, boardmember of the Winslow Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a societal challenge. This is about the future of the world.â&#x20AC;? Ash agrees: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a general consensus that the climate change issue cannot be dominated by environmentalists.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013;

change believer before Al Goreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ lm An Inconvenient Truth was released in 2006, making global warming a household phrase.

Unfortunately, for eight years the United States had oil men in the White House.

These same oil men and their economic/ cabinet advisers created Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy policy, refused to participate in the Kyoto treaty and put in place an administrative bureaucracy with regulatory agencies that led to the Horizon Oil catastrophe in the gulf, among other calamities, including and culminating in the near collapse of the U.S. economy. A popular uprising occurred and President Obama was elected in 2008. No one predicted what would happen next.

It has come to light (in stories like Rolling Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s January expose â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why the Global Warming Bill Never Stood a Chanceâ&#x20AC;? and the August New Yorker story â&#x20AC;&#x153;Covert Operationsâ&#x20AC;?) that billionaires, including the Koch brothers, have hijacked our democracy, ďŹ nancing think tanks like the Cato Institute, Mercatus Center and political front groups like the American Enterprise Institute and the American Heritage Foundation, with the intent of disseminating climate denial and steering public opinion. The main goal: to further de-regulate the chemical, petroleum and coal industries while protecting their proďŹ ts.

Examples of these efforts include funding the Tea Party movement as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boots on the ground,â&#x20AC;? arguing that smog is good for public health as it decreases

Forget blaming envirosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as usual, wealthy industrialists are the root of the problem n 2003, I traveled, along with my friend and fellow Mauian Scott Heller, on a ďŹ lmmaking expedition to the Arctic Ocean. We were invited guests of Robert and Jane Thompson, Inupiat Eskimos and residents of the Arctic village of Kacktovik who had earlier stayed at my home in Paia. During my stay I witnessed and heard ďŹ rst-hand from the Natives evidence of global warming: ďŹ sh never before seen in the rivers, the movement of the tree line into the tundra, the permafrost melting and no longer allowing the use of traditional summer ice boxes to store whale and seal meat, strange climate episodes and storms trapping and killing herds of caribou near the village, gigantic ďŹ res burning millions of acres, long portions of shoreline disappearing into the Beaufort and Chuckchic seas, forcing villages to move inland.

The following year, I was part of another Alaskan expedition with wilderness photographer Robert Ketchum who had just come from a scientiďŹ c expedition in Greenland where climatologists and geologists had discovered the Greenland ice melt was occurring faster than had ever been imagined. (Elizabeth Kolbert wrote about these events in the spring of 2005, in an award-winning three-part story in The New Yorker.)

As a result, I was a climate-

skin cancer and gifting huge grants to the National and American Cancer Society while at the same time arguing that formaldehyde (Koch Industries and subsidiary Georgia-PaciďŹ c produce 2.2 billion pounds a year) does not cause cancer in humans.

The other goal was to discredit President Obama and restore a Republican majority toCongress.TheU.S.SupremeCourtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sruling Citizens United, which lifted restrictions on corporate campaign contributions, certainly seemed to be part of the grand plan. (For more on climate change denial and the Koch brothers, visit climatesciencewatch.org.)

It is disingenuous to claim that environmental groups were part of this corporate onslaught, or that simply playing hardball is going to solve the problem. As the new Sierra Club Executive Director, Michael Brune said in The Atlantic, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Politicians and clean energy advocates must stop talking about policy and start showing people how clean energy solutions that are available right now will make their lives better.â&#x20AC;?

Simply put: our environment is our economy. The ďŹ nancial and ecological sectors are inextricably connected, and we must see challenges like climate change as an opportunity to create a better future. Our lives depend on it. â&#x2013;

How do you differentiate yourself from the popular retail brands?

Funny enough, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually had some of the big Kombucha companies visit our cafe to try out our drinks. We are a good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mom and pop shop. Unlike the popular brands, we do not brew thousands of gallons at a time. We make small, fresh batches, no more than 12 gallons. We use premium organic ingredients with unique flavorings and combinations. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just more love per batch.

What inspired you to open Maui Kombucha?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a big fan of Kombucha. I started making it for myself in 2002. When I shared it with my friends they would d say, say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow this is the best Kombucha Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had!â&#x20AC;? I began to get orders by the gallon, first from friends, then a large part of the local community. I decided then it was time to open a storefront.

One of my best customers was Jenn Swatzke, who I now have the honor of calling my business partner and friend. Like me, Jenn has an extensive background as a raw food chef. She brings so much creativity and passion to our business. It truly is a dance of co-creation.

Rita Rudner Saturday (December 18), 7:30pm at the MACC; 242-7469 or mauiarts.org â&#x20AC;&#x153;

F

emininity is a bit unusual in comedy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a maleoriented art,â&#x20AC;? says begowned comedy queen Rita Rudner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The person p holding lding the microphone is in a position of power, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusual for a woman to be in control of emotions. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing there with the microphone, you really are controlling peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotions.â&#x20AC;? .â&#x20AC;?

Rudner understands ands the scepterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sway.

Her career has lasted ed long enough to include regular appearances pearances on The Tonight Show with Johnnyy Carson, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won the Las Vegas Review Journallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Comedian in Las Vegasâ&#x20AC;? award eight years running. Yet, unlikee some female comedians who try to be one of the boys, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from herr girlie side. In fact, she wields her sweetly sprite lilt like Glinda the Good Witch, coming oming across as relatable and witty without being acerbic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love hearing people laugh,â&#x20AC;? ugh,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It lightens everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s load.â&#x20AC;?

Words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;subtleâ&#x20AC;? tleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;demureâ&#x20AC;? have long been used to describe Rudnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

So how does she feel eel in the modern comedic climate, where thatt sort of thing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, um mâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;In vogue?â&#x20AC;? she completes ompletes my sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humor has become come more basic, especially in comedic dic movies,â&#x20AC;? continues Rudner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very strange that no one is going to laugh unless less you get attacked by a tiger. But, everything hing goes in waves. The good thing about humor is that there are all different types out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free country and everybody body can choose to see the things theyy like.â&#x20AC;?

Parting with herr original path as a professional Broadway dway dancer, Rudner chose to embrace the comedic calling at age 25. At a timee when wahine comedians were especially specially few and far between, playing ng to her ladylike strengths proved a recipe for success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With comedy, you have to do what comes to you u naturally,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of comedians ns are more comfortable pushing the envelope ope and speaking about subjects that are kind ind of taboo. I just do the kind of humorr Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable with and tend to talk about bout relationshipsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;men, women, familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;things â&#x20AC;&#x201D;things that people can relate to everyday.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;?

In one of her popular opular early bits, Rudner related how she liked ked to shop for new outfits after a bad breakup, and how if she saw an outfit she reallyy liked, she might break up with a man on purpose. Now, ironically, her husband band of 20 years, Martin Bergmanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who she he describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a straight

guy with a queer eyeâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;picks out the dresses that have become her trademark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of goes with my vocal quality,â&#x20AC;?

Rudner says of the long gowns (which, she admits, she likes to wear because they hide her legs). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once, I told myself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to steer away from the gown.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So I wore pants onstage, but they were sparkly and had crystals. I always allow for questions from

the audience after my show, and one of the first questions was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the gown?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So I never did that again. Everyone likes the gown.â&#x20AC;?

Rudner has been working Vegas for the last 10 years, beginning with a gig at the MGM Grand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a theater they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what

to do with [while] in negotiations with another show that was taking longer than expected,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they have a space they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do with, they usually call me. The entertainment director called me, I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sure,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the show sold out for six months.â&#x20AC;?

When the other show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the naked girls from France, which they have to have in Vegas,â&#x20AC;? finally came in, Rudner moved to a theater at New York, New York, where she sh stayed for six years before moving to her current digs at Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Las Vegas newspapers newsp report sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making a move to The Venetian in 2011, but Rudner tells MauiT MauiTime sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to other long-term plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love working [in Las Vegas], but I fe feel like I might have another 10 years where I could do something a bit different. Stand Standup is my first love, but I also love writing comedy,â&#x20AC;? Rudner says, referencing a sitcom sitco sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently shopping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be a comedy that I could be in, or I could just jus write itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;either one. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see. Things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do happen very quickly in Hollywood, so [t [the sitcom] might never see the light of day and it might see a lot of daylightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kn know.â&#x20AC;?

Rudnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for writing has add added â&#x20AC;&#x153;authorâ&#x20AC;? to her list of accomplishments accomplishments.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penned four books including her latest, a collection of essays titled I Still Have It... I Just Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Remember Where I Put It and the novel Tickled Pink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The books of essays are really fun to write and flow naturally for me,â&#x20AC;? Rudner Rud says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The novels are a lot harder.â&#x20AC;?

She writes her essays alone, but collaborates with her husband on novels and screenplays. woman So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for the wom whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done it all? â&#x20AC;&#x153;See if you like this idea, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just sta starting it,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband and I decided that since this is kind of a bought time to buy property, we boug an old house and decided to kknock it down and [try] to build our write dream house. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to w about all the things that have gone wrong, and so far, the ttitle of my book is Diarrhea of a Dream House.â&#x20AC;?

And yes, when Rita Rudner Rud says â&#x20AC;&#x153;diarrhea,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still very ve ladylike. â&#x2013;

FirstLight: Academy Screenings Maui Film Fest series continues with ballerina thriller and historical “buddy comedy” years. True art is often disturbing—and not for everyone—but we should always be thankful when it’s created.

The King’s Speech

Black Swan

★★★★★

Rated R/109 min.

allerina Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) has always wanted to be the star of Swan Lake, which is to ballet what Hamlet is to theater. Nina suffers incredible physical pain as she struggles to be the finest member of her company and land the coveted part, but it’s nothing compared to the torturous relationship she has with her mother (Barbara Hershey), who was once a dancer herself.

This is the latest film from director Darren Aronofsky, who previously made The Wrestler, which also captures the intense physical and emotional toll of being an entertainer.

It’s worth mentioning that Aronofsky’s best film is Requiem for a Dream, a harrowing portrayal of addiction that, like Black Swan, is a relentlessly intense experience, full of beauty and horror. By the film’s end, I was giddy, stunned and awestruck.

Portman’s extraordinary commitment to performing most of her own ballet sequences is getting all the press, but her character’s painful journey from obsessed victim to sexually empowered diva is riveting—and so is Portman. Vincent Cassel, playing her director, has never had a role this good in an American film, while Mila Kunis is bewitching as Portman’s rival and possible doppelganger and Winona Ryder makes a striking impression as a burnt-out former

star. Best of all may be Hershey, who plays a controlling, smiling rattlesnake of a woman.

The use of CGI is initially sparse, offering tantalizing glimpses of Portman’s troubled mind, but it builds (to the point of nearoveruse) as the story careens toward its climax. You find yourself wondering how far Aronofsky will go—and, to his credit, he goes all the way.

If you’re a bit confused, that’s as it should be. This film is scary, wildly over the top and rich with imagery both thrilling and horrifying. It’s also one of the year’s best films, a rich, intoxicating and brave work that will be discussed and dissected for

reat movie pairings offer a unique pleasure, providing a combo as effortlessly delicious as Spam and rice.

The best ones are legendary: Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. A new duo to add to the batch: Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, terrific actors who are electrifying together in The King’s Speech, a wonderful new film about the reign of King George V. Firth stars as George and our first impression isn’t good—we initially see the Duke as an arrogant, introverted, cowering man whose fear of public speaking is amplified by his painful stuttering. His father the King (Michael Gambon) belittles him, while his devil-may-care brother (Guy Pierce) mocks him openly. George’s longsuffering wife (Helena Bonham Carter) hires an unorthodox speech therapist (Rush) to cure him of his impediment, but soon George faces bigger problems: his father dies, forcing him to take the crown as his country battles Adolf Hitler.

You always know where this real-life drama is going, but watching the two leads work together is a treat. Firth follows his

surprising and triumphant performance in A Single Man with another layered, unexpected and moving performance. Firth is so convincing as the dour, reluctant royal, you may forget you’re looking at an international sex symbol. Rush transforms himself in an engaging, theatrical turn every bit as impressive as Firth’s carefully articulated work. The vocal training exercise scenes are gripping; we hang on George’s every syllable, and feel his fear and frustration at being unable to fully express himself.

The supporting work by Carter, a nearunrecognizable Pierce and an especially fierce Gambon is solid. The music score is beautiful and the climactic scene—where George has to address his people and denounce Hitler—is a thrilling, edge-ofyour-seat set piece.

Rather than a dry history lesson, this is a story about the deep bond between two very different men. In fact, it may be a first: a nuanced, riveting, historical “buddy comedy.”

This Week's Picks

DIVERSIONS, DALLIANCES & DATES

Well Seasoned Friday (December 17), 5:30pm doors / 7pm show, outdoors at the MACC, $25

Fighting Fire With Fire Friday (December 17), 9:30pm-1:30am, Hard Rock Cafe, Lahaina, $15 door

This week, we’re playing Peter Piper and picking Pepper.

Kona’s own Kaleo Wassman (guitar, vocals), Bret Bollinger (bass, vocals) and Yesod Williams (drums) are certainly wellknown in the 808, but they’ve also made a mighty name for themselves abroad thanks to an extensive touring/recording history; they’ve joined the Vans Warped Tour and played with everyone from The Wailers to Snoop Dogg to Flogging Molly. This year, they again hit the road (a place they never seem to leave) for their annual, 25-show Unity Tour (with 311 and The Offspring), and released their latest EP, Stitches. And they’re on the eve of releasing a new music video for “Drunk Girl”—in 3D (visit pepperlive.com to send away for a free pair of 3D glasses). Their Maui concert is part of the fourth annual Volcanic Rock Out Tour, and (hooray for the under-21 set!) it’s an all-ages show. (Oh, and speaking of stuff for under-21ers to (legally) do, The Underground—a new underage club—opens this Friday at 744 Front Street in Lahaina. 7pm-2am; $10) If you want to to pick Pepper too, pick up tickets at Requests, Green Banana Internet Cafe, Old Lahaina Book Emporium or through the MACC’s box office. 242-7469, mauiarts.org

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, upwards of 400,000 residential building fires are reported annually, tallying over $7 billion in losses. When fire claims the home of one of our own—as it recently did for beloved radio personality Shaggy Jenkins’s ‘ohana—we’re reminded that this staggering, sad statistic is about homes. “A place of residence and refuge,” by dictionary definition, “home” literally and figuratively houses our affections and safeguards all we hold dear. To lose it is an unfathomable pain—and a torment that dear ol’ Shaggy (pictured) and his family are currently enduring. “My sister has four daughters and they lost everything,” says Jenkins. “They’re spending the holidays throwing out all the charred, smoked and otherwise damaged stuff that used to be a home to them.” Fighting fire with fire, Maui’s prog rock elite are uniting under the Hard Rock’s roof to raise money to rebuild Shaggy’s hometown hale in North Carolina. For the paltry price of a plate lunch and latte, you can help the cause and enjoy the megawatt lineup of Moth, Owaila, Kanekoa and Vince Esquire, presented by Q103, KAOI FM and Visionary Entertainment.

Up in the Dub Saturday (December 18), 5pm doors / 6pm show, Mulligans on the Blue, Wailea, $25 advance / $30 door PHOTO BY JON SPENCER

In The History of Popular Music, author Pierre Scaruffi says that reggae, with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;lament-like style of chanting and emphasized syncopated beat... appropriates the African Nyahbingi drumming style (a style that mimics the heartbeat).â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always found this awesomely apropos, as the two â&#x20AC;&#x153;heart soundsâ&#x20AC;? that our oh-so essential myogenic muscle makes are described with the onomatopoeia â&#x20AC;&#x153;lubâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;dub.â&#x20AC;? Get it? Dub! Sadly, none of the etymology of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dubâ&#x20AC;? that I could find (from an admittedly lackluster search) supported this, despite dubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as a subgenre of reggaeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;being defined by its emphasis on drum and bass. But I digress. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to explain the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heartâ&#x20AC;? behind a genre that so strongly speaks to islandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sensibility.

Frankly, I could only afford to spend the space because those of you who this event is Picked for are likely already hip to the cool kids on the roster of Reggae Vibrations Volume 1. (Hey! That implies there are more volumes to come!) So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll simply recommend you belly up to the bar early, as doors open at 5pm and parking will be nuts. Local boys begin the night with Cityside performing from 6-6:45pm, and Ekolu (pictured) from 7-7:45pm. Then visiting reggae diva J.C. Lodge croons from 8-8:45pm followed by likewise lovely Pam Hall from 9-10pm. 874-1131; mulligansonetheblue.com

Wine and Dandy Tuesday (December 21), 5:30pm at Merrimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kapalua Wine enthusiasts love a challenge, and for the last two Werewolf wine club events that meant sommelier versus sommelier battling it out to be crowned master of the bottle.

This month, the challenge steps up a notch as Merrimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Jason Castleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;now an advanced sommelierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;takes on Charles Fredy. And Peter Merriman is getting in on the action with three courses to back up this vino smackdown. Call to reserve your spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;these things sell outâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and find out what happens when you drink wine on a full moon. 669-6400, merrimanshawaii.com [Jen Russo]

ight without dark. Good without bad. Nothing is mutually exclusive of its opposite, movies notwithstanding. And there seems to be some strange point when the worst circles around so far as to intersect with the best.

Like with Robot Jox or eXistenZ or BattleďŹ eld Earth. (OK, maybe not BattleďŹ eld Earth.)

MauiTimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Ynez Tongson, our good buddy Marc and I are halfway through watching The Warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way when Marc leans in and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my book, a movie that ranks as a negative ten is just as good as a movie thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect ten. So far, this one is at about a negative seven.â&#x20AC;?

The Warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way (which, in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wondering, is about THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD) so wonderfully and unwittingly employs every horrible movie cliche, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utterly enjoyable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so unaware of how bad this movie really is, I would have already walked out,â&#x20AC;? Marc adds.

Had he, it would have been a disservice to the rest of the audience. Not to toot our own horns or anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome badness that inspired our witâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but we were Mystery Science Theater 3000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joel Robinson, Crow and Tom Servo incarnate. Our oddshaped silhouettes not-so-quietly piped commentary and asidesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and we brought a puppet show to boot.

Hakama-wearing and be-banged, I know full well that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ripping off the look of a feudal-era Japanese boy. But it still rubs me the wrong way if a boy rips off my look (and in some weird, depressing sense does it better). In this case, the culprit is South Korean star Dong-gun Jang, whose enviable bangs are the yang to my domeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead-chinchilla yin.

Thus, Ynez and I decided to wield our hinged-blade scrapbooking skills to create paper doll stick puppets of appropriate man-dos so we could hold them up and cover the onscreen offenses. Marc played along (because we forced him), but

exercised a little creative license by (rather indelicately, to his manly credit) clipping out an entire picture of Mr. George Takei, in a lab coat, holding a bunch of bananas and taping it to a coffee stir.

Mr. George Takei proved to be a most valuable asset, as whenever there was a particularly cringeworthy scene, Marc would simply hold him up and gush, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my!â&#x20AC;? in his best toe-curling voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. George Takei saved my life a couple of times during that movie,â&#x20AC;? Marc opined afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saved all our lives,â&#x20AC;? I replied.

But what Mr. George Takei and the paper doll man-dos did best was reveal that props can make any movieâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially a bad oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;really, really fun. So fun in fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided that props are a mandatory aspect of my movie-going experiences henceforth. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet come to the conclusionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been scrapbooking movie stubs et alia since the dawn of time, and will admit Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve crocheted a Slytherin scarf or two (what of it?!)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea made possible only via a really bad ďŹ&#x201A;ick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hehe. That is a fantastic idea.

Maybe it will catch on,â&#x20AC;? Ynez replied when I proposed my new rule on Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then, when people are bringing live chickens to The Black Swan, you can regally survey your empire.â&#x20AC;?

Oh no. Not my empire. For I serve the scissor overlords, glue sticks my clansmen, and until the next movie dateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;live chickens or noâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ nd me patiently cutting and pasting in preparation. â&#x2013;

HOROSCOPE

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com +

Sign Language SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) Being wished a “Merry Christmas!” around this time of year used to bother me, as I’m not Christian and resented the implication that I was. Stuff like this still bothers me, but I’ve found it’s better for my own state of mind to simply look past the message (and its embedded assumptions) and appreciate the intention behind it. You should attempt to similarly read between the lines this week, because the lines themselves are likely to suck—but they’re coming from a good place I’m sure you can appreciate, if you’re willing to notice it.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Many fantasize about finding the roles of “best friend” and “lover” played by the same person. However, this isn’t always, for some people, the best-case scenario. Firstly, occasionally the roles come into conflict. Also, and even more importantly, it’s nice to have someone to lean on when you hit a rough patch with one or the other—when friend and lover are the same person, a lover’s quarrel can feel very isolating. This week, regardless of whether or not you’re best friends with your lover remember that having all your emotional eggs in one basket isn’t a good thing.

Share them out.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Aquarians are generally very smart. This is both strength and curse. Here’s the thing: when you don’t have enough stuff for your busy, capable mind to work on, it invents things to work on. Sometimes this takes the form of random creativity or weird hobbies, but more often than not, your mind does something much more annoying: it creates problems where there are none (or makes mountains out of molehill-sized ones). This could very well be the case this week. To avoid generating drama out of thin air, keep yourself busy; there’s certainly plenty to do to keep your mind off stuff it’s better off ignoring.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Being a kind and giving person, and one who realizes how sweet and generous it is to accept others’ kindness and generosity, you may have a hard time understanding when someone simply doesn’t want what you have to offer. Going against their wishes may feel like the nicest thing to do (and occasionally, when someone is just being modest or selfless but actually would enjoy a gift or effort, it is), but honoring those desires—no matter how backwards or incomprehensible—may actually be the best course to take. Please try to be sensitive and humble enough to notice, either way.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You Rams generally get stuff done right now or at the last possible minute. If you’re not carried on a wave of exciting impetuous newness, procrastination sets in and you’re not likely to even try to get something done until a deadline is looming over you and you’ll have to pull out all the stops just to have half a chance of getting it done on time. Obviously, while this is a very exciting way to live, it’s hardly practical, and has gotten you into trouble more frequently than you care to admit. It may be time to try something new: just getting things done in a rational, timely, and thoughtful way. This week is better than most for the attempt, so I say give it a go.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Rationally, you know that inner beauty ought to trump outer hotness, every time. It lasts longer and is more likely to make you happy in the long-term than a nice ass (which is arguably better in the short-term). However, putting that into practice is much easier said than done—the distractions of a pretty smile can all too easily overwhelm and obscure the subtler sexiness of a gorgeous soul. No one can blame you for being temporarily dazzled by a lovely face—you’re human, after all. The question is: how quickly can you undazzle yourself and remember to notice and appreciate the stuff that really matters?

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Although you’re certainly capable of being several ordinary people, all at once, you still can’t be everything to anyone.

Your partner or close friends will always have needs or desires you simply can’t (or don’t want to) fulfill. At that point there are two options: ask them to go without (which they may or may not be capable of doing), or letting them get what they want elsewhere. The latter is occasionally difficult to wrap your head and heart around—but it’s still the kinder, more loving, and generous thing to do, if you can possibly be selfless enough to go there. This week, at least consider it.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) “That’s not my job,” is a copout. You may be justified and correct when you say it, but it’s still bailing on something you could (probably easily) do. Should you have to? No. Would it make everyone’s lives (including yours, ultimately) easier?

Absolutely. Sure, washing someone else’s dishes is no fun (to use an obvious and simple example), but not doing so ultimately will lower your quality of life, not to mention your happiness. At the very least, suck it up and get it done with a minimum of grumbling. However, consider an even happier alternative: tackling it as an act of a joy, a challenge, or simply as a gift, and feeling good, not resentful or frustrated, while you get shit done.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) As generous as Leos are (and it’s your saving grace, so don’t lose it!), you’re generally more willing to take than to give. Most of the fire signs are inherently selfish, and that’s okay. Luckily there are many people in the world who are more selfless. However, there must be balance, and even if your scale tips more towards taking than giving, it shouldn’t do so by a ton. This week, make sure yours is very close to equilibrium, or, if you can pull it off, tilting (at least temporarily) towards giving more than you get. This may be a challenge for you, Leo—but it’s certainly a worthy one.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Virgos keep busy (usually too busy) for numerous good reasons. But probably the most compelling one of those is that when you have too much time on your hands, you turn to excessive worrying, obsessive over-analyzing, and similar happiness-limiting activities. Naturally, I want you to keep avoiding that kind of unproductive, semi-destructive crap.

However, that doesn’t mean keeping so busy that you never work on it. Downtime shouldn’t inevitably be populated by inner unpleasantness. Sure, it’s likely to crop up if you have too much spare time, no matter what, but taking a short break should be a pleasure, not something to endure.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) So the project you took on has turned out to be much more work than you’d anticipated. What do you do? Of course, there’s an easy out: “I didn’t sign up for this.” That’s also a major copout. Life’s just unpredictable. Sometimes you go on a casual date with someone and it turns into something serious. You open a door and discover an entire, unanticipated world. Rolling with these surprises is part of the game—even when it means more work. Sticking with it may be scary, overwhelming, even infuriating. But it’s also so worth it. Please at least try.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) When someone is truly bad at something, people frequently try to protect their feelings and say nothing, or, in a misguided attempt to be supportive, even offer encouraging praise. This is well and good if someone’s merely bad because they’re just starting out, and have true potential— but a kind of cruelty if they’re not likely to improve much as a result of such encouragement. It’s a much greater kindness to simply be honest—especially when such honesty will spare others—such as when they’re lacking in skills such as safe driving, or worse, singing.
