Coconut Wireless Is it just me or is Governor Neil Abercrombie going a little bit, well, funny in the head? Guy hasn’t been in office long and he’s already running with some delusions of grandeur–namely, his sudden desire to have everyone not recently appointed by him to vacate with undue haste the most powerful boards in the state: Land Use, Aloha Stadium Authority, Board of Land and Natural Resources, et al. Seriously, this is tin-plated dictator stuff: governors appoint people to staggered five-year terms on these boards precisely so a governor can’t dance into office and then run everything by fiat. Hell, even Linda Lingle didn’t try to pull off anything so crude.

But I digress. One of Abercrombie’s promises when he took office was to bring home all 1,700 Hawaii prison inmates currently housed in Arizona prisons run by Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), one of the largest private prison operators in the nation. Given Abercrombie’s actions cited above, I wasn’t that surprised to read a June 24 press release from the governor’s office saying one of the key ways to bring those inmates out of CCA facilities on the mainland was too– drum roll, please–sign a new $45.5 million contract with CCA to house 1,956 inmates at two CCA prisons in Arizona.

“The return of Hawai`i’s prisoners requires a multi-faceted approach of expanding prison space in Hawai`i, creating alternatives to incarceration and reducing recidivism through community-based programs,” said Jodie Maesaka-Hirata, the state Department of Public Safety director, in the release. “This agreement will give us some flexibility as we continue to our goal of bringing prisoners home.”

See, by signing a new contract with CCA to hold even more Hawaii prisoners, Abercrombie is helping to bring Hawaii prisoners home.

Breathtaking, isn’t it, to watch true politicking in action?

WOO! SHANE VICTORINO! So I’m driving home last Friday night, listening to Johnny A and our own associate editor Anu Yagi on K-Rock, 97.3 FM, when Johnny A says, in response to Anu mentioning that I just took over as MauiTime editor, “I remember Anthony, he’s a rabid baseball fan.” Now I’d just like to say now, for the record, that although I am a fan of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (stupid name, to be sure), I am not, nor have I ever been, a “rabid” fan of baseball or any other sport, for that matter.

I enjoy watching a good game of baseball, and have sat in a few stadiums (and little

league games) in my life, but do not fill out scoring sheets or collect baseball cards or pay hundreds of dollars for “authentic” player jerseys or wager even a small sum of money on the outcome of a game. I like Major League Baseball, certainly, but no more or less than a “normal” person would like Cheers or roast turkey.

And now that we have that out of the way, I bring you today’s breaking news:

life on Maui, winning the World Series in 2008 and his struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder?

“Shane has been red-hot on the field this season… especially since returning from his hamstring injury,” wrote Kristen Seabolt of Maroon Public Relations. “So despite suffering that injury this season, Shane is still in the running for the 2011 All-Star Game on July 12. But you know that he

reminded of this Saturday when I joined a considerable crowd over at the Central Maui Boy’s and Girl’s Club in Kahului to watch Roller Derby. The bout pitted our island’s own Maui Roller Girls (MRG) against Hawaii island’s Paradise Roller Girls.

Now remember, this isn’t roller derby as seen in movies like Whip It, with its large, banked tracks and jammers played by that chick from Juno—Maui roller

would never ask for anyone to vote for him; so we have taken it upon ourselves to help spread the word because we think his hustle, determination and work-ethic epitomize what the All-Star Game is all about.”

Sadly, voting ended on June 30. Still, I think I speak for everyone when I say, “Shane! Shane! Shane! Shane! Shane!”

derby takes place on rather small, rather flat concrete basketball courts. All the women wear a lot of padding, but falling on concrete can’t be fun.

The Maui Roller Girls are apparently undefeated, which means Saturday’s final score of 142 for Maui and 63 for Hawaii Island probably isn’t surprising. In fact, the Maui Roller Girls have gotten so good they actually want to fly to Oregon in August to take part in something called Rollerpalooza.

Since that’s going to cost a bit more than travelling inter-island, MRG—which is a nonprofit organization—is taking donations. For more information, contact Whitney “Bullets” Stebbins at mrgdonation@gmail.com. ■

Shane going yard

one of Shane Victorino‘s press agents emailed me! Okay, she emailed former editor Jacob Shafer, but whatever. The point is that Shane (if I might be so bold) is a local Maui boy (St. Anthony High), superstar centerfielder of the Philadelphia Phillies (career .280 batting average, three Gold Gloves) and philanthropist (check out The Shane Victorino Foundation, which helps underprivileged kids in Hawaii and Philadelphia).

And did you know that in May the U.S. Jaycees named him one of the Ten Outstanding Young Americans of 2011 (previous winners of that title included John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley). Or that his new biography, Shane Victorino: The Flyin’ Hawaiian (written by Alan Maimon), chronicles his

EH BRAH!

NEWS OF THE WEIRD MMM... BURGER DNA Somehow, upscale restaurateurs believe that diners will soon willingly pay more for a beef dish if it comes with disclosure of the DNA of the actual cow being eaten, according to a May Associated Press report.

“People want to know where their food is coming from,” said one excited chef, lauding the knowledge to be gleaned from a calf’s upbringing. (A more practical beef-supply executive added that DNA can help identify the “multiple animals” whose parts were used in hunks of ground beef—a 10-pound package of which may include contributions from “hundreds” of different cows.)

CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE It was not difficult to find critics when the Orlando-area government job-service engine Workforce Central Florida said it was spending more than $70,000 of federal stimulus money to help the laidoff by handing out 6,000 satiny capes for jobless “superheroes” to “fight” “Dr. Evil Unemployment.” (“Absolutely absurd” was the reaction of a laid-off customer-service representative.) Several critics interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel noted that such an awkward program further erodes the unemployed’s fragile self-respect. WCF, though, remained convinced. In the words of a spokeswoman, “Everyone is a superhero in the fight against unemployment.”

URBAN LEGEND COME TO LIFE Too-good-to-be-true stories have circulated for years about men who accidentally fell, posterior first, onto compressed-air nozzles and self-inflated to resemble “dough boys,” usually with fatal results. However, in May in Opotiki, New Zealand, trucker Steven McCormack found himself in similar circumstances, and had it not been for quickthinking colleagues who pulled him away, he would have been killed—as the air, puncturing a buttock, had already begun separating tissue from muscle. McCormack was hospitalized in severe pain, but the air gradually seeped from his body (according to a doctor, in the way air “usually” seeps from a body).

OOPS! Oswind David was convicted of “first-degree assault” in a 2006 trial in New York City, but unknown to him, his lawyer and the judge, the charge had already been dismissed by another judge due to prosecutorial error.

Nonetheless, David has been in prison since his conviction, serving a 23-year term, and was freed only in May when the error came to light. (However, the New York City district attorney still resisted releasing David, arguing that only the “first-degree” part had been dismissed. A judge finally freed David on bail while prosecutors ponder reopening the case.)

THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT?!

Parents were puzzled in June after Dry Creek School District in Roseville, Calif., passed out questionnaires asking for biographical details of prospective students, including whether or not the child has been delivered by C-section.

Parents told Sacramento station KOVR-TV that school officials were refusing to explain why they wanted to know that.

INEXPLICABLE An April Associated Press story, citing federal government sources, reported that 247 people on the terrorist “watch list” were nonetheless legally permitted to purchase guns in 2010—about the same number who did so legally in 2009. And in May, Oklahoma judge Susie Pritchett, receiving guilty pleas from a $31 drug-deal raid in 2010 that netted a mother and her two grown children, sentenced the mother and son to probation, but the 31-year-old daughter to 12 years in prison (just because the daughter showed “no ... remorse”).

Eh Brah! This one is for you, the ever so brilliant boat driver who likes to show off and go way too fast into and out of and the Kihei Harbor boat ramp. I know you are used to having the ocean all to yourself, or you just think you do, since you often go way too fast. Don’t you see all the honu whom frequent the area? No, I doubt you do, because I’ve also seen you come really close to paddle boarders traveling between Kamaole 3 and Keawekapu—so close I swear you almost knocked some of them down. Seriously, brah: slow down, quit doing tight circles so inshore, and please keep your eyes open for others who might be trying to use the ocean, too. We need to establish some kind of common respect brah, where we keep our eyes out for each other and give each other room. It’s a big ocean but this is a small area, so let's learn to share it without anyone getting hurt or worse. ■

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES Stanley Thornton Jr., 30, and his “nurse”roommate, Sandra Dias, featured on a May edition of the TV show “Taboo” (National Geographic Channel), are both drawing federal Supplemental Security Income as disabled persons, even though Thornton builds his own “adult baby” furniture (cribs and high chairs large enough to accommodate his 350-pound body) and operates a website where people living as adult babies can communicate. U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn asked the Social Security Administration to investigate whether Thornton is abusing the system (and Dias, too, since if she can “nurse” Thornton, she can “nurse” for a living). Thornton subsequently told The Washington Times that if his SSI checks were discontinued, he would kill himself.

BRAVE NUDE WORLD Just after Clayton County, Ga., schoolteacher Harlan Porter was told his contract would not be renewed, he walked naked through the school hallways (no students were present) and spoke of a “newer level of enlightenment” now that his “third eye was open” (April).

And after a clothing malfunction, veteran marathoner Brett Henderson, 35, decided during the Flying Pig race in Cincinnati that, since marathoners sometimes run naked in California, he could do it there.

Henderson outran police and stopped only when he was Tasered (May). “I ain’t scared to go to jail.” ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1502n

successful, he promised to shave his head.

The Annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk just completed its 33rd charity drive, and raised $475,101 for Maui County non profit and community programs. The Grand Wailea team amassed a total of $50,000 through many creative and thoughtful fund-raising methods: dunking booths; karate lessons; the selling of spam musubi, cupcakes and ice cream; spa treatments; activities and pledges.

This is the most the Grand Wailea has raised ever and the biggest amount for a single organization in the history of the Visitor Industry Charity Walk. “I think everyone gains weight during this fund-raising time because there is so much good food and it’s all for a great cause,” says Christina Yumul, head of public relations for the Grand. Their team also won first place for best food booth, and best T-shirt design.

“There was no question in my mind that if we hit the goal I’d do it,” says Bailey.

“I wanted to do something lasting and

prouder of a team for their community efforts,” he says.

NEW GALLERY OPENS IN WAILEA The new Peter Max gallery, The Art of Meter Max, opened its doors in the Shops at Wailea last Friday. The artist is well known for revolutionizing the poster art industry in the 1960’s with his graphic, obtainable poster art. This is one of two galleries in the world dedicated to his art.

“We were open in Lahaina on Front Street for five years,” says manager David Haken. “That store closed down in late December 2010, and we are happy to relocate to Wailea.”

Robert Dye, General Manager of the Shops at Wailea says the new gallery is the seventh at the upscale shopping complex.

“Peter Max has used color and canvas to capture some of the most iconic people, places and pop-culture moments of the past half-century,” he says. “To showcase his talent alongside our existing array of artists is an extraordinary honor for our center.”

Although known for his posters, the 1,225 square-foot gallery will sell original oils and acrylics. Peter Max curates the pieces. “Maui is the most beautiful place on the earth,” Max says. “I have created the Maui Series to honor this beauty with nice colorful scenic images.” While Max will not be at the soft opening, plans are in the works for a Maui appearance. The pieces sell from $900 to $95,000. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1502m

MauiTime Subpoena Withdrawn!

W

ith little fanfare and no apology, the County of Maui has withdrawn the subpoena for all IP addresses in a 24hour period of online commenters for an April MauiTime story. This marks the end of an absurd drama that has been hanging over the paper since the county issued the subpoena in late May. “The Maui Police Department has clearly shown that they’re incompetent, lazy or just a force for harassment,” said Tommy Russo, MauiTime publisher. “They brass at MPD are wrong, and they know it.”

It all began on April 14 when MauiTime published a story—which included video footage—concerning an incident in which Maui PD Officer Nelson Johnson struck Russo while trying to prevent him from filming both himself and the crew of Dog the Bounty Hunter in the Wailuku municipal parking lot. Online comments, virtually all excoriating the Maui PD, flooded the MauiTime website. Then one commenter, using the moniker, “Federal Reserve,” wrote the following (errors in the original): “the MPD,, the ONLY reason I own a LARGE CALIBRE, high powered rifle. who needs criminals with this bunch of dog eating public menaces running around. Johnson needs a bullet when he walks out his door.”

A month later, two Maui Police Officers showed up at the MauiTime office in Wailuku and asked Russo for the IP address of the individual who wrote the above comment. Russo refused to provide that or any other IP address. On May 24 Officers Wendell Loo and Stephen Orikasa returned with a subpoena asking for all the IP addresses of all commenters to the story within a 24-hour period that included “Federal Reserve’s” statement. Once again, Russo refused to hand over any IP addresses.

Then he told the officers that while they were at it they should also subpoena reddit. com, youtube and craigslist–those sites contained far more vitriolic and aggressive comments towards Maui police officers.

“You don’t tell me how to investigate,” Orikasa told Russo. “I will investigate how I like.”

The matter moved to the courts. Two Maui judges recused themselves from the case, including District Court Judge Rhonda Loo, whose husband Wendell Loo is the Maui Police Officer who delivered the subpoena to Russo.

Through it all, Russo and MauiTime received support and attention from both

national and local sources. Immediately after the county filed its subpoena, the Board of Directors of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies (a trade group that includes MauiTime) unanimously approved a resolution “supporting the efforts of Maui Time to resist a subpoena that violates the First Amendment and the rights of the free press.” What’s more, Village Voice Media, the largest owner of alt weeklies in the nation, donated $1,000 to the paper for legal assistance. The chain also encouraged other papers to take a similar stand.

Even The Maui News editorialized against the subpoena. Calling the county’s actions “ill-advised” and “scary,” the paper said the comment in question did not “justify a fishing expedition through Maui Time’s records.”

MauiTime was preparing for an evidentiary hearing scheduled for June 30 in Judge Joseph Cardoza’s courtroom when we received Tam’s June 21 letter. “We have been advised by the Maui Police Department that they have been able to identify a person living on Maui who uses the name “Federal Reserve” on communications to the public,” Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John E. Tam wrote to MauiTime attorney Philip H. Lowenthal on June 21. “Please therefore advise your client that the subpoena duces tacem that was issued for information on this posted comment is hereby immediately withdrawn.”

On June 23, Lowenthal and fellow attorneys Benjamin E. Lowenthal and Samuel G. MacRoberts filed a notice of withdrawal of our motion to quash the subpoena, officially ending the matter.

And that was it. No apology for putting the legal screws to the paper, trampling the First Amendment, misusing the Grand Jury process or ignoring their own police procedures. Indeed, Tam’s letter indicates that a Maui PD investigator “will seek to locate and interview this person [“Federal Reserve”] regarding a specific comment posted on the Maui Time webpage on April 15, 2011 at www.mauitime.com regarding “[Officer] needs a bullet when he walks out his door.”

“Will” send an investigator? What took them so damn long? Using publicly available Internet search engines, this newspaper was able to determine the identity of “Federal Reserve” in about 0.17 seconds. Considering that police investigators–even those on Maui– have access to far more databases and investigatory equipment than our little alt weekly, Tam’s statement would be hilarious if it didn’t insult our intelligence so much.

Let’s take the Maui PD at its word that the comment constituted “terroristic threatening” against one of their officers

(that would be the aforementioned Johnson, who Tam wouldn’t even name in his official subpoena withdrawal letter).

Imagine someone went online and posted soemthing threatening the life of one of your loved ones. Wouldn’t you expend all possible resources at your disposal to find out who the person was before taking the cumbersome and very controversial step of asking the Grand Jury for a subpoena against the news site that hosted the comments in the first place? Wouldn’t you, at the very least, take the posted nickname of the commenter in question–in this case, “Federal Reserve”– and do a quick Internet search, to see if perhaps this person had made other similar, threatening comments elsewhere?

And yet, the county’s subpoena shows that MPD did not literally lift a finger to ascertain the identity of the individual before getting a Grand Jury subpoena to allow them to wade barefoot through our sensitive computer records.

No one is safe when police departments leap to the throats of the media before exhausting the resources of their taxpayerfunded detective bureaus. Similarly, the county’s Prosecuting Attorney’s office erred egregiously when it simply rubber-stamped MPD’s request for a Grand Jury subpoena.

But worst of all, the subpoena diverted attention away from the critical issue at the heart of Russo’s original confrontation with Officer Johnson: Maui PD is far too

aggressive when dealing with citizens who are trying to film them doing their jobs in public areas. This is not just a Maui problem, but a national problem.

On May 12, Rochester, New York police arrested Emily Good, who was standing on her front lawn, filming a routine traffic stop.

On April 9, Lonnel Duchine was standing in his own Vallejo, California garage filming cops as they arrested some neighborhood juveniles when the cops suddenly demanded his cellphone, saying what he was recording was “evidence.” When he refused and handed the phone off to a friend, the police arrested Duchine.

In April 2010, Maryland state troopers indicted Anthony Graber for allegedly violating wiretap laws by videotaping them during a traffic stop without their consent.

In February 2009, East Haven, Connecticut police arrested Father James Manship (a priest!) for videotaping them at a small general store.

These are just a few of many, many cases of police officers roughing up citizens who dare to record their actions. They are the actions of police state thugs, not peace officers sworn to serve and protect the very citizenry who pay for their uniforms, training, weapons and salaries.

And they must stop. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1502u

Before coming to Maui, Troy had a landscaping business in California, but when gas prices shot up as the economy

W

hen Janice (not her real name) worked in Washington D.C. as a federal grants program manager, it never occurred to her that she’d end up on the other side of social services. She wouldn’t have believed that she’d find herself homeless. Janice’s journey from social service administrator to social service recipient began when, as a bureaucrat in Campaign Finance under the Clinton Administration, she became a “whistle blower” and lost her job.

Then she and her husband moved to Boston, and their marriage fell apart.

Janice told her husband that she wanted to divorce and move back to Oahu. She said he couldn’t accept this and became violent.

Janice returned to Hawaii anyway.

“I feel safest here,” Janice said, motioning to her location in plain sight, on the sidewalk, with plenty of witnesses, “while I look for an attorney to help me file a civil lawsuit against my husband’s domestic violence.”

Of course, homelessness isn’t limited to Oahu. Maui has its fair share. For Heather and Annie, who are both currently living at Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Center in Wailuku, it was drugs that caused them to first lose their children, and then wind up homeless. They both receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and food stamps.

But due to the high cost of food on Maui, they still run out by the end of the month.

They have classes at the shelter during the week; if they have bus money (bus passes are too expensive) on the weekend, they take public transit over to St. Theresa’s Hale Kau Kau soup kitchen.

Heather, 31 years old, still has her young son, Dakota in her care. “I have been clean for 3 years,” she said with pride. “My family was in Hurricane Katrina. I came to Maui because a friend told me that she had a room to rent, but when I got here, the house was full. I lost all my ID, and Louisiana can’t find people’s paperwork.

Now I can’t even take Dakota to the doctor.”

Without ID, it’s also difficult to get a job. Heather lives on Social Security (SSDI) payments as she has “post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] from being molested as a child.”

Annie also lost both of her children to foster care due to drug addiction. Her son is in foster care in South Carolina and her daughter is in care here on Maui. “I graduated from Drug Court two years ago, but still can’t get my daughter back from ➤

plummeted, his company folded. Because of the intense sun exposure that comes with the job of landscaper, Troy contracted skin cancer. He came to Maui to find work, and also because the island is home to a good dermatologist, with whom he is attempting

to work out a payment plan. “Luckily my daughter can send me a little money from time to time,” he said, beaming.

Moving to Maui to find work is a common story. That’s what happened to the young couple, Dustin and Christian, who came here with their baby, Kadalynn, with the promise of a job that never materialized. They soon found themselves homeless. This prompted Dustin’s mother, Terry, who owns a home in Aberdeen, Washington to come help.

“I dropped everything, scraped together air fare, and flew to Maui to help my son and his family” she said. Terry is assisting them in applying for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) while her son looks for a job. “We had to choose between renting a room and renting a car,” Terry said. “We decided that having transportation was more important.”

But those who had solid careers on Maui sometimes end up homeless as well. For Darlene, who holds a master’s degree in urban planning, and previously worked as a planner with Maui County, it was a neck injury, anxiety and three DUIs that unraveled her life.

After she and her husband split, she sought a rental on her own. But because of her extensive knowledge of zoning ordinances and building codes, she couldn’t help but notice violations. This didn’t go over well with her landlords. Now she’s living in her car, but continues to dream.

“I still have goals,” she told me. “When this is over I want to start a non-profit dedicated to promoting science and engineering education for children.”

Jeff, 56, has called his truck home for 20 of the 33 years he’s lived on Maui. He described himself as a “free spirit, no strings attached” guy. He doesn’t want to own anything except his truck, which keeps him mobile. He pays for his meager expenses with SSDI, which he has been receiving ever since he was struck by a drunk driver in 2003. The accident put him in a comma for six days and gave him brain damage. Since then he has been distraught.

“I’ve often contemplated suicide and I have severe depression.” he said. Though he did muse that Maui is “not a bad place to be homeless. Maui people are spoiled, if you can get to the place.”

The common thread running throughout these peoples’ stories is that it took time for them to wind up homeless. There were numerous events which, spiraling downwards, one on top of another, led first to the loss of an adequate income and then to them no longer affording to pay rent or a mortgage and finally to them winding up on the streets.

Because there are approximately 658 homeless people on Maui--up nearly 65 percent from 2010--as well as 394 additional people who live in shelters, there are numerous programs that provide free meals. One of them, St. Theresa Church’s Hale Kau Kau in Kihei, has been around 20 years. It’s Maui’s only daily “soup kitchen.”

According to head chef, Jimmy Osaki (former kitchen manager Marie Osaki’s son), anyone in need of a hot meal can get one at St. Theresa’s Church. In addition, volunteers (who supply their own vehicle

and gas) deliver 50-60 meals per day to South Maui shut-ins, since Meals on Wheels doesn’t deliver to Kihei. Hale Kau Kau’s outreach program focuses on elderly and disabled residents.

Many of Hale Kau Kau’s guests are families, or the working poor. Since wages nationally have remained stagnant while prices for food, gas and housing have risen in the last several decades, many people, even if they work full time, can’t afford basic necessities. This phenomena is exaggerated in Hawaii with the price of shipping added to most products, and excessive land costs increasing home prices and rents.

Given today’s high unemployment and escalating foreclosures, the number of homeless and working poor on Maui has gone up in recent years. A year ago, Jimmy served 80 meals per day on site at Hale Kau Kau. Now he does 100 meals. With a mix of pride and sadness he recounted that he recently,

rental units; help Hawaii Public Housing Authority upgrade units that require cleaning and painting; and help identify opportunities for people to rent units with landlords and realtors who step forward to be a part of the solution,” Chun-Oakland said.

Representative John Mizuno, Chair of the House Human Services Committee, agrees.

“The key to resolving homelessness is better coordination between county, state and federal governments,” he said. “Providing affordable housing is crucial. There are already developers receiving state and federal tax credits to provide affordable rental housing. These programs need to be improved and expanded.

For instance, currently, developers of new affordable housing projects are required to keep units within federal affordable housing guidelines for only 10 years. For future projects, the requirement should be raised to 15 years. The state should give incentives to already existing developments to prolong

has been, as she noted, “shot down by neighbors.” Both bills are awaiting reintroduction next session.

Last month Marc Alexander, Coordinator of Governor Neil Abercrombie’s Task Force on Homelessness, unveiled a 90-day plan to reduce homelessness. “The effort will focus on the chronically homeless, as they are the most vulnerable and needy,” Alexander said.

This is the theory of the “Housing First” program: if chronically homeless people are given a place to live, other exorbitant cost, such as emergency room visits, jail stays and Child Protective Service interventions can be reduced.

“Helping these people off the beaches and out of shop doorways will also improve the appearance of neighborhoods, which will help the community at large,” he added. “[I] would like to encourage people who want to help the homeless to focus their efforts on programs that are effective in the long

“served 202 meals, between St. Theresa’s and delivery. That was the most ever.”

Over the last decade, state government has increased its attempts to reduce homelessness. But many currently available social services are now at risk. Senator Suzanne Chun-Oakland, Chair of the Senate Human Services Committee, is urging her colleagues to appropriate $20 million more for the rental housing trust fund to build affordable rentals and purchase vacant multi-unit housing, and $6 million to assist with rapid re-housing—housing placement and services to help homeless families and individuals obtain and maintain housing, as well as assist landlords and renters in having successful relationships. ChunOakland would also like $3.2 million to maintain homeless shelters in the state and $90 million in bond financing for public housing rehabilitation.

“The vast majority of my work is with my legislative and county colleagues and the community (non-profits, foundations, realtors, property owners, homeless people, businesses, churches and concerned individuals) through volunteer efforts to help private-sector landlords upgrade vacant

the length of time that rental units remain affordable. When the affordability period ends, many of these people become homeless.

While subsidizing these units isn’t the silver bullet, it will certainly help.”

Representative Rida Cabanilla, Chair of the House Committee on Housing, found that a community-wide attitude of “notin-my-backyard” (NIMBY) was hampering solving homelessness, so she produced a 30-second public service announcement to encourage residents to “Remember, we are all one ohana.” She also introduced HB309, which would waive height restrictions for developers who build within the Honolulu Downtown core and then rent 20 percent of the units at affordable rates. The idea was to curtail urban sprawl while encouraging the development of affordable housing.

She also introduced HB753 to fund homeless parking lots in various locations around the State. She modeled the bill after New Beginnings, a program in Santa Barbara, California that provides between 100 and 400 safe evening parking spaces.

This allows the working homeless to stay in their vehicles at night. But every location that Cabanilla has proposed for this program

run. For instance, it is better to donate to, or volunteer to assist in a meal program than to feed homeless people in the park.”

It’s easy to get frustrated and discouraged when dealing with people who are so poor they cannot afford a place to live. Social service, educational, recreational, cultural, and artistic endeavors are all fighting for an ever-decreasing supply of taxpayer and philanthropist-supplied crumbs.

How did it get this way? Technology seems to be advancing at an exponential pace, and yet why are so many people’s standard of living declining?

Why is our economy so bad?

Will it get worse? Can we, as individuals do anything about it?

Asking these questions reminds me of renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead. “Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can make a difference, indeed, that is the only thing that ever has,” she said.

Mead didn’t lose hope, and neither must we. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1502a

Tacos To Go

How does Amigo’s Express make such great food in such a small truck?

F

ood Trucks are now part of the quintessential foodie experience. As much as fine dining is on the gourmet checklist, finding a great food truck is a foodie’s best est underground adventure.

In Wailuku, the Amigo’s ’s Express boxy food truck sits quietly on the corner of Vineyard and Market Street, under the shade off a giant banyan tree. There are no mariachi horns acknowledging its Mexican heritage—just pictures of plates of food, and black felt pen-filled stencil type on the side of the order window announcing fresh tamales and chile rellenos.

While food trucks are enjoying a surge of trendiness on the Mainland, Mexico has a long tradition of selling great food out of little stands and trucks. Puerta Vallarta rta taco vendors sell Baja Cameron tacos, while in Tijuana ladies push carts selling tamales in hot little squares wrapped in leaves.

The stands laden with al pastor meats on a rotisserie offer some of the best flavors you can experience while eating in Mexico.

These kind of food vendors spill over into California with plenty of corner food trucks selling amazing homestyle burritos and tacos, all at very cheap prices. With our economy in the tank, eating amazing handcrafted food without the overhead of sit down dining is chic. There is an element of mysteriousness that surrounds these se mobile eateries, too—Who knows what goes on inside the truck or how all of this deliciousness is prepared in a 6-foot by 4-foot space? For the most part, though, ugh, we don’t care because we are hungry. y.

The menu plastered on the Amigo’ss Express truck boasts specials everyday,

with spiced and roasted meats mea (or beans and rice if you go veggie).

Emma

Does Iao Theater have a paranormal visitor?

C

heap ruffles of white satin.

Raw, pale pine. Noxious black lacquer. I’d never had the chance to inspect an empty coffin before; when I saw one unattended at the Iao Theater’s Maui Fringe Festival after party, I simply couldn’t help myself.

“I dare you to get in,” said Michael Pulliam, Maui OnStage special events and marketing director, sneaking up behind me. Before my next blink, I’d kicked off my shoes and shimmied inside. Another friend closed the lid behind me.

“Ooh, you’d better not do that!” chided executive director Alexis Dascoulias, playful but earnest. After a few funny photos I rejoined the party, and the topic of conversation turned to the paranormal.

And, of course, the resident ghosts of the historic Iao Theater.

According to theater stewards, there are at least two entities inhabiting the historic theater on Market Street. One is a not-so friendly ghost, haunting and “messing up” the dressing rooms (or, as one thespian says, “it could just be a rat—who knows”).

The other is mercurial, but decidedly more friendly, and those who’ve encountered her have lovingly dubbed her “Emma.”

It’s said that Emma’s been around longer than anyone can remember (the Spanish mission-style building, designed by Edward Walsh, opened in 1928 and was once a vaudeville house). With Maui OnStage’s production of the musical Chicago slated to open next week (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, July 8-31), Emma has been making her presence increasingly known.

Lore has it, Pulliam says, that Emma is a dainty young flapper girl with a penchant for plays that take place in the 1920s.

Lights flicker and boards malfunction for no apparent reason—especially during modern or avant garde theater—but as soon as Emma’s acknowledged, the inexplicable activity subsides.

Emma is also said to have been extra active during a production of Cabaret 15 years ago. So it’s apropos that she’s again clanging chains ahead of Chicago, which was written by Maurine Dallas Watkins, a young journalist for the Chicago Tribune who based the play on her 1924 reportage of muderesses Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner.

“During one of our rehearsals for Chicago, four or five of us saw something and turned our heads at the same time,” says Lina Krueger, who recently starred as Grizabella in Maui OnStage’s Cats, and is the stage manager of Chicago. “Our director (Dascoulias) said, “What’s going on?” and we said, “Oh, it’s just Emma.””

But things weren’t always so easy with Emma.

During a production in 1992, Krueger

says, “Something was messing with the lights and there was a very irritated presence.” She says the cast and crew started speaking to the ether and collectively determined that the spirit’s irritation might be due to the living not addressing the dead in a personal way (and, for a time, confusing her with the nasty dressing room poltergeist)—and that was “just being rude.”

“So, we started saying different names out loud, and when we said “Emma,” all of a

sudden there was a cool, breezy feeling in the air. We all went, “Whoa! That’s her name!”

And ever since, we’ve called her Emma.

She doesn’t really mess with anybody since she was named,” Krueger adds. “She just wanted to be acknowledged, that’s my theory.”

No one knows if there ever was a woman named Emma connected to the theater, how she might have died, or if she was a flapper.

In fact, the Iao’s old guards keep up the ‘20s-girl mythos, though they haven’t seen anything that specific themselves.

“It’s like a corner of the eye kind of thing.

Not any distinct shape, but lighter than the surrounding area,” says Krueger.

Dascoulias adds that Emma sightings could possibly be on the rise because a show like Chicago requires an experienced cast—all of whom are familiar with the theater and its lore, and more apt to “speak up about experiences. It’s one of those things where you’re not sure if it’s real when you see it. If I wasn’t a part of the conversation, I’d think I was hallucinating,” she says. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1502ae

Awesomely Lame Tom Hanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Larry Crowne phones it in Larry Crowne

â&#x2DC;&#x2026; â&#x2DC;&#x2026; â&#x2DC;&#x2026; â&#x2DC;&#x2026; â&#x2DC;&#x2026; ( ZERO STARS ) Rated PG13/99 min.

arry Crowne (played

by Tom Hanks) is a recently divorced and hopelessly square, middle aged man who has just lost his job at the U-Mart. Because Crowne served in the military but has no college degree or a back-up plan, he enrolls in college and is immediately smitten with his teacher, named Mercy and played by Julia Roberts. Whereas Mercy has no passion for her job, Crowne, who tucks in his polo shirt, collects LPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and typifies white and nerdy, is a boisterous dork who energizes everyone he meets.

Though Hanks directed and co-wrote the film with Nia Vardalos (of My Big Fat Greek Wedding), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as awesomely lame as Larry Crowne himself. I love Hanks and wanted to welcome his return to comedy but his new movie is dull, dumb and an ordeal the

L

whole way. His directorial debut, the rock musical That Thing You Do!, was genuinely charming and wonderful; Larry Crowne, by comparison, is so syrupy, cutesy-poo and corny that it makes That Thing You Do! look like The Doors.

The opening scene, where Crowne is fired, oddly resembles the scene in Philadelphia where Hanks was also canned from his job, but that movie had style and dramatic interest, whereas this crawls from the beginning.

Hanks has a climactic speech that will remind audiences how likable and authentic an actor he can be even in a movie like this, but he fails to fully connect with the part.

Crowne lacks the definition of either Forest Gump or even Joe Banks and is more of a flimsy sketch character than a fully baked role for an entire movie. Roberts is still one of the prettiest women at the movies but this is easily her worst performance; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phoned it in before, but in this movie, she only plays two notes: smiling and not smiling.

The script is a big culprit as to why this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and I blame Vardalos as much as Hanks, who should have thought twice

Nothing is hotter than two old people with bad dialogue.

before collaborating with the creator of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connie and Carla.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mean-spirited subplot involving Mercyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, who is obsessed with big-busted women, that throws the movie permanently out of whack.

Likewise, the inclusion of the as-stupid-as-itsounds gang of scooter enthusiasts.

The focus is mostly on Crowne bumbling his way through Mercyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class but the only scenes that really work feature George Takei (Mr. Sulu!) as Crowneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other teacher. The movie should have been about Takeiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Matsutani, who is hands down the most amusing figure here. Hanks is clearly trying to make an old fashioned, Preston Sturgestype romantic comedy and you have to give him credit for putting Takei, Pam Grier and Cedric the Entertainer in the same movie.

I want to cut the movie a break, as it

means well but there are few laughs and the logic and feel of a bad live action childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film. In addition to wasting the time of a talented cast, the movie wastes ours as well.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great closing song by ELO and anyone who rides down Haleakala highway to work in a scooter may feel empowered after seeing this, but this movie is cornier than a barrel of rubber chickens.

Hanks began his career with comedies (most of them great) and progressed to a series of remarkable dramatic vehicles, with the farces fewer in between the serious minded Oscar baiters. This should have been a return to form but actually, any five minutes of Splash or Bosom Buddies is superior. â&#x2013; To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1501

DIVERSIONS, DALLIANCES & DATES

Red, White and Blues Friday (July 1), 3:30-9pm and Saturday (July 2), 1-10pm; Wailuku Town; free

Old Glory’s red represents valor, white purity, blue justice; and for which it stands, liberty and justice for all—so long as you can find a parking space. If the only thing deterring you from attending Wailuku First Friday is the crowded public lot (in a town where parking for even the 9-to-5 grind— never mind a raging monthly block party—will give you gray hair), have no fear. The Maui Medical Group has opened up their lot free of charge and the Good Shepherd Church is selling spots for $5 a pop. Now that you know how to cover your asphalt, let’s move on to the fun stuff. July’s WFF features Uncle Willie K (preferable to Uncle Sam, obviously) headlining at the Maui Thing stage. Not that our nation’s independence isn’t worth celebrating, but Maui Thing is bringing out the big guns—augmented by a huge fashion show—to commemorate their anniversary. See, for three years Maui Thing has been “stuck on good”—and for three years Mauians have been stuck on their colorful goodies. That’s a lot of sticky goodness! Also at WFF, don’t miss musical mainstays Gene and Shea Argel, and Joel Katz, plus newcomers Olimon, Ryan Glavor, Conner Snow and Jon Toda. Ono kine grinds abound, which help absorb the beer imbibed to benefit Na Leo Kako’o Hawaiian immersion programs, and fresh ‘awa at Native intelligence. Sandwiched between those two sippin’ spots is Gallerie Ha, where purveyor Pat Masumoto presents a nonpareil retrospective of her work ahead of her own 12th anniversary. Speaking of art, why not get a caricature of yourself penned from a sidewalk-stationed artist? Or, mosey across Main Street to the new Body Alive Yoga & Movement Studio’s “Exhale!” extravaganza, which this month highlights art by Stephanie Farago and Sinthia Szato, music by Kitty Lee, astrology readings with Markus and more. Just in case your senses haven’t had their fill, check out the Jazz and Blues Festival presented by the Arts Education for Children Group. This invitational kicks off just before WFF with Teri Garrison and friends (3:30-6pm) and The Usual Suspects (6:30-8pm) at Main Street Bistro, and continues in Wailuku town on Saturday (July 2) with a jam session at Wailuku Coffee Company (1-4pm). Then, at the historic Iao Theater (Saturday, 6:30-10pm), the sounds of the High Seas Dixieland Band, The Moonglow All Stars Swing Band, Mana‘o Radio Orchestra and Vince Esquire Band will have you high-flyin’ and feeling grand. 878-1888; facebook.com/wailukufirstfriday

Hay On My Parade

Fireworks Like A Charm

Saturday (July 2), 9am-12pm, Baldwin Ave. to Makawao Ave., Makawao; free

Monday (July 4), 4-9pm, Front St., Lahaina; free

With Independence Day on the horizon, let’s take stock: You’ve got to have watermelon, the beach, some fireworks (wait—are those still legal?) and, of course, the 46th annual Fourth of July Paniolo Parade in Makawao. Because nothing screams summertime on Maui like frantically searching for parking amidst loud rodeo clothes’ tassels as though it’s some sort of never-ending automated car wash. Sweltering heat and an unhealthy amount of sequins aside, the parade and subsequent weekend of rodeo events are fantastic traditions a half-century in the making; and if anything, a good reason to get up early and grab some cream-filled long johns from Komoda’s Bakery. (The operative word being “early” so as to avoid parking preoccupations.) This year’s event theme is “Nana I Ke Kumu” which means “look to the source.” Speaking of the horse’s mouth, the parade starts on Baldwin Avenue (near the veterans’ cemetery) and finishes on Makawao Avenue at Eddie Tam. For more information, call Theresa at 572-9565. [Ynez Tongson]

Did you know that if you violate Hawaii’s Fireworks Control Law, §132D-8.6 subsections (a), (c) or (d)—and have in excess of 10,000 pounds of explosives—you could be convicted of a class B felony? If I’m reading the law right (and I’m probably not, because I’m not an attorney) that is the same penalty for electronic enticement of a child in the first degree or possession of two pounds of marijuana. That said, tender brown eyes across the isle are thankful that the Maui Chamber of Commerce—for the twelfth year running—is handling West side aerials (defined in said chapter as being “designed to... fly above the ground,” in case you’re wondering). The show starts at 8pm and to facilitate spectators, Front Street will be closed from Baker Street to Hotel Street from 5-8:45pm (read: park in a side street lot and wear your walking shoes); plus a special broadcast will air on 97.7 FM and Q103 FM during the spectacle’s approximately 10-minute duration. New this year is the first-ever Front Street Food Fair at Campbell Park, with picnic to-go items (like hot and chili dogs provided by Cool Cat Cafe and Ritz Carlton, a benefit for Lahaina Canoe Club) perfect for strolling families. And, the live entertainment lineup features 1810 (4pm), Righteous Youth (6pm) and keiki hula

28 JUNE 30, 2011

ave you seen the sign on the road to Hana (or its copycat near Maliko Gulch; or wherever else I might be missing) where some clever, smitten fool penned â&#x20AC;&#x153;IN LOVEâ&#x20AC;? between the words of warning â&#x20AC;&#x153;FALLING ROCKSâ&#x20AC;??

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet and makes you smile, if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to grin during the drive to Hana. Wrapped in the ebb and ďŹ&#x201A;ow of shadow tangled up with crepuscular rays, the long and winding road cuts through a sea of red, gold and green; and once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit a rhythm hugging the curves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over much sooner than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped.

Speaking of rhythm, when I drove out there for lunch this last Sunday, I was reminded that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a critical signpost missing. Nope, not â&#x20AC;&#x153;...But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the landing and getting-up part that sucks.â&#x20AC;? (Though, even more than rocks, that warning might be prudent.) Rather, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of signs with friendly reminders of driving-toHana best practices.

But that would be terribly long sign. Or way too many little signs. So instead, I suggest a CD, or a special radio station, or some sort of MP3 dongle thingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;provided to visitors upon their arrivalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that plays just one song on repeat, to the tune of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)â&#x20AC;?:

Ladies and gentlemen on the road to Hana, If I could offer you only one tip for your journey, pulling-the-hell-over would be it.

Nobody cares if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Rocky Mountains roadmaster with a trophy to prove it. If the vehicle behind you isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a rental, it has the right of way.

Always.

Yep. Different rules for different people.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put it this way: Your cyan convertible conspicuously ďŹ&#x201A;ags you as an outsider. No one holds this against you until you hold up trafďŹ c.

Prepare to be tailed, but never tail anyone else. And no matter what speed you drive, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll either be going too slow or too fast.

So just pull over.

Besides, you need to reapply sunscreen.

Frankly, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the melanoma will be your own damned fault. This is 2011 for Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, and that Mary Schmich column-turned Baz Luhrmann song is old enough that, if she was a girl, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be legal with consent. Gross (and dated), yes, but now you have no excuses.

Then again, a lobster face is good

for a giggle. Chemo works good anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all, but laughter is the best medicine.

Sing.

Just make sure your windows are rolled up. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sing if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a convertible.

See, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tailing you waiting for you to pull over, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m close enough to hear. Smack your kid for not telling you that no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liked the Dave Matthews Band in 40 years.

Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to Keanae, maybe you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop at Tutuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, maybe you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

If you do stop at Aunty Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Tutuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, tip extra good, K? You know the whole â&#x20AC;&#x153;do one thing every day that scares youâ&#x20AC;? thing? This is not the time for that. That cliff face is foâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; realz, brah. Like da Mainland, dis ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Disneyland.

Do not drive as fast as the teenage girl in the lifted Toyota. Contrary to whatever ageist, mysoginistic thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, she knows what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing. Just another Costco run.

If you throw a cigarette butt out the window, the menehunes will waddle into your hotel room in the middle of the night and eat your eyeballs. If you see someone smoking a joint, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freak out. Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call the cops. They will laugh at you. Then ticket you for talking on your cell phone while you drive.

Yield means stop. Then, wave at every passing car. Genuinely. We can tell when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re faking it. Even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wave back, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making snide comments about whether or not you waved and in what manner. Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that important.

Brothers and sisters, we can all make it to Hana in one piece. Just pull the hell over.

PS: Mary Schmich, in her famous column â&#x20AC;&#x153;Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;encourage(d) anyone over 26 to... entertain (them)selves by composing a Guide to Life for Graduates.â&#x20AC;? Seeing as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m (as of this writing) ofďŹ cially 26-years-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but missed the inner tube to graduationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I, too, thank you for indulging my attempt. â&#x2013;

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 6

1. A CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely control who or what enters our lives.

Some things, of course, you can simply walk away from if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in with your vision of how your life should look, but others arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so blithely abandoned. Leaving them behind would also involve ditching important aspects of yourself, perhaps principles and morals youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quite attached to.

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more or less stuck with these gate-crashers, like it or not. These surprising, challenging, and confusing experiences are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;character-buildingâ&#x20AC;? for a reason.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see what unfolds when one happens to you, shall we?

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Anonymity can be fun, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so not your style. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not cut out to be a wallflower. Unlike some signs, you like being noticed, most of the time. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of flying under the radar? Well, there is a point to it sometimes, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to effectively get to where you want to goâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;since drawing attention will likely slow you down or stop you completely. This week you may have to run counter to your natural instincts in order to accomplish your goals. Go into stealth mode for now, Leo. You can shine again once the deedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Digging someone else out of the mess theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really your job, yet the task does seem to fall on your shoulders pretty often, nevertheless. Why? Because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at it. Hardly fair, but there it is. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of this, but your choices are pretty lousy: abandon a friend in a time of need, or roll up your sleeves and get to excavating. To avoid such crappy alternatives in the future, make sure your loved ones know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unlikely to tidy up such disasters again, and they should turn to you for help while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a chance of averting catastrophe, not after itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all gone pear-shaped.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Imagine stopping for directions, and instead of getting a couple vague instructions and a sloppy hand gesture, someone sits down and draws you a detailed map, describes numerous landmarks and points of interest, and takes a quarter hour providing you with way more information than you asked for. Their excellent and courteous treatment of you was in a way much more annoying than if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just hollered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that-a-way!â&#x20AC;? and waved you off. Sometimes peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful intentions can turn into a tremendous hassle. The right thing to do is accept them with grace, neverthelessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;along with the delays or obstacles that accompany them. Try to remember that this week.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty tolerant of most thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but not intolerance. Once bigotry of any kind rears its ugly head, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done. If I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance of changing minds, I gear up for righteous battle and fight the good fight; otherwise, I just walk away, to save my strength for a war I can help win. Keeping things that simple is my solution to avoiding unnecessary conflict. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours? If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a concise strategy for picking the battles you choose to fightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if, for example, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based entirely on your moodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it wrong. Devise one this week.

2. E 3. C

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Leading by example is the only way to go here. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even try one of those, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do as I say, not as I do,â&#x20AC;? deals; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never fly. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be called out on that shit so fast your head will spin. The only viable strategy is to really live and behave according to the principles you hope to share. Eyes are upon youâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether you know it or notâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and people are not afraid to judge. It may not be fair, but you need to try to abide by the principles you aspire to, instead of just the ones that are currently easy to live up to.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) When what should be fun turns into an annoying hassle instead, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Can you retrace your route and correct your course, towards hilarity and joy rather than frustration and anger?

Reclaiming your sense of humor, along with a willingness to let go, will help you find your way again. Much of your angst is caused by clinging to ideas that just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, and forgetting to chuckle at peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly foiblesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;your own as well as othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is confusingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;plotting a course amidst intense desire always isâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to find a joyful, satisfying way through it all, you will.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) If you break the rules often enough, you can sort of develop a sixth sense about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to actually get away with it, and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. With all the authority-subverting you generally do, yours is honed to razor acuity; however, your ability to actually heed it is not so well-developed. Too often, you get carried away by your enthusiasm and leap into the fray without seriously considering the outcome. That patternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to stop, or at least take a break this week. You need to listen to the warning signs before you go outside the lines right nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely get caught crossing them.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Although a Capricornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye for profit might see it differently, someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always your gainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or at least it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. You may see an opportunity or two to spin gold out of othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hardship this week, but I hope you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to feel good about, and even if you can shrug the moral quandary aside, such actions are almost certain to come back to bite you in the ass, probably just to make sure you regret it, later. Skip all that and just help those in need instead of taking advantage of them.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too pissed off when someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost cruelly blunt with you. Chances are, they tried more subtle approaches before, and these went completely unnoticed. Sometimes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re oblivious to all but the most direct and obvious communication. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as frustrating to those around you, so try to accept their brusque and frank treatment of you with good humor instead of annoyance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually pretty funny, if you can let yourself see it that way. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to allow a joke or two at your expense, such communications can be hilarious good fun, instead of angst-ridden dramaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; so I hope you can.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) Sometimes something that seems like a real advantage can turn out to be exactly the opposite in practice. While it would certainly be convenient to have a prehensile tail, for example (better than making do with just two hands and two feet), in the end the hassles youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d experience whenever you tried to use it (not to mention adjusting your clothes to accommodate (or hide) your extra appendage) would probably prove too much to justify having it, unless you hoped to find a career as a research subject or circus sideshow star. Check any lucky breaks this week for similar downsidesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;before you accept them.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) A diet of all snack foods isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be particularly healthy. If that was all you ate for a year, I hope you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised to find yourself overweight and riddled with other health problems. So why is it a surprise to you that a spiritually similar â&#x20AC;&#x153;dietâ&#x20AC;? has remarkably analogous results? What kind of nourishment are you giving your soul these days? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting you become a biblethumping churchgoer, but you should seek out and discover experiences and people that feed this part of you before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too weak to get your ass up off the couch, even if it tried.
