Hats in the Ring & Frogs On Ice HYPER LOCAL And then there were three: former County Planning Director Chris Hart tossed his hat into the Mayoral ring last week, joining Mayor Tavares and former Mayor Alan Arakawa on the list of confirmed candidates. Based on behind-the-scenes rumblings that list is likely to grow before the campaign kicks into gear, so ruminations on who will split votes with whom would be premature and quite possibly moot. Hart’s best quote, in a November 5 Maui News piece: “Now that I’m at an age where I should be thinking about doing something different, I think I could make a contribution.” It’s the “I’m-too-old-for-this-stuff-but-elect-meanyway” strategy, which has been both successful (Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan) and not so much (Bob Dole, John McCain)…. It took one year of rejection and one year of inaction, but the Lahaina Town Action Committee says it will pull a permit for Halloween on Front Street next year. Two questions loom: Will the Cultural Resources Commission acquiesce, and if so under what conditions?

And, more essentially, is it too late to revive the event after two underwhelming years?… Got a heads-up from GMO-Free Maui this week about Islam Siddiqui, Obama’s nominee for the post of Chief Agricultural Negotiator, which is kind of a big deal as agricultural negotiators go.

The environmental and anti-GMO crowds are up in arms because Siddiqui currently serves as Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America, an organization dedicated, according to its Web site, to representing “the developers, manufacturers, formulators and distributors of plant science solutions for agriculture and pest management in the United States.”

So the guy’s a lobbyist for Dow, DuPont, Monsanto et al, and now—pending confirmation—he’s going to be a key player in shaping and implementing the government’s agricultural policy. Yes it’s frustrating, disappointing, maddening, etc.

But more to the point: it’s completely predictable. This is the way it works, whether we’re talking defense contracts or corn seeds—you do some time in the private sector, you hop over to the public sector, you hop to the private sector, you keep hopping like a coqui frog on ice and many backs are mutually scratched. Oh yes, it’s important to pay attention and to call it when you see it, but at a certain point you reach outrage overload….

Bring the party back, for her.

LOCAL This week’s feature (page 12) is a guide for the recently unemployed. On the other side of the ledger is a September 17 release from the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), warning businesses that unemployment insurance rates are going to jump significantly in 2010. Unempoyment insurance averaged $90 per employee in 2008 and 2009; that figure will “increase to about $450 to $2,040 per employee depending on the company’s unemployment experience rating,” according to DLIR Director Darwin Chang. Hawaii’s unemployment rate has ballooned from 2.2 percent to 7.2 percent in the span of a couple years; somebody’s gotta pay. But for businesses teetering on the edge, this could be a fatal shove....

Following up on last week’s report about the availability—or lack thereof—of swine flu vaccine: according to a Honolulu Advertiser report, state health officials say 146,500 doses have been “allocated” for Hawaii, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve all been delivered, let alone administered. And even if they had, that would still leave more than 1 million Hawaii residents unvaccinated. Dr. Lorrin Pang, Maui’s representative in the state Department of Health, told me that the 1918 swine flu outbreak did most of its damage between late October and early January, meaning if this inoculation is going to be effective, it had better hurry up.

KAMA‘AINA SPECIAL

LOW PRICE! LIMITED TIME OFFER! MAINLAND FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAN GO TOO!

(To be fair, Pang also said the two outbreaks are different and won’t necessarily follow the same pattern, but added we’d be “fool[s] not to pay attention.”) Of course, so far most swine flu cases haven’t been worse than regular seasonal flu, so unless you’re in one of the identified high-risk groups (pregnant women, people with underlying health conditions) it’s not time to panic. (OK, nobody should panic, but you get my meaning.) In the end, pointing fingers is easy (and in many cases warranted). But what this really shows is that battling widespread, pandemic diseases isn’t easy, and when you add layers of bureaucracy and inevitable miscommunication (here’s an actual quote from Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Thomas Frieden, in a video titled H1N1 Flu Vaccine—Why the Delay?, “we wish that it would be easier for people to find out a way that they could easily get vaccinated”)…well, let’s just say take your Vitamin C and wash your hands, kids….

NOT LOCAL As I read in an AP dispatch that Obama is “nearing a decision” to send close to 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan early next year, I was reminded of a strategy proposed by a charismatic young Senator during the 2008 presidential primaries: “We need a bold new approach—one that is smart, tough, and targeted. This will require us to look beyond the structures of World War II and the Cold War to new tools that will allow us to target terrorism more precisely. It will require sustained U.S. leadership—but the kind that leverages the power of partnerships, rather than going it alone. It will mean raising the level of cooperation between law enforcement and intelligence agencies—while preserving civil liberties and the rule of law.” No, that isn’t Obama, but rather John Edwards.

Mind you, I’m not saying I wish Edwards were President. But his ideas—and yes, they were campaign promises, which is one small step above “bald-faced lies” on the believability ladder—resonate. As I noted a couple weeks ago, Afghanistan isn’t known as “the graveyard of empires” because it’s a good country to occupy. ■

LCWATCH Minors & Merkins

A

nother Adjudication hearing in the books and two more minor decoy cases— a no contest plea by Bamboo Grill in Lahaina and a guilty plea

by Makawao’s Liquor Shack & Grinds—bringing the total number of successful, er, excuse me, unsuccessful (see the October 8 LC Watch for more about the department’s questionable definition of success) minor decoy stings for the year to 17.

But here’s the truly significant number: three. That’s how many non-minor decoy stings the board has considered since January.

Unless the December hearing contains an abnormally large slate of over-serving cases, this will be an unprecedented year for the LC’s punitive arm.

Think of it like this: the Adjudication Board has nine members, meaning right now there are three members for every non-minor decoy case considered in 2009.

What’s the point of all this? Only that the minor decoy program is looking more and more like the board’s only real reason for being.

I

n other, sillier news: Loyal readers will recall that, while parsing the department’s rules, we came across a line banning patrons or performers in liquor-selling establishments from wearing “artificial public hair.” This led to the revelation that the proper term for a set of fake pubes is a “merkin.” Yes, hard-hitting stuff.

We all had a few wry laughs and moved on…but then I got an e-mail from an anonymous reader last week pointing me to merkinworld.com, your source for “modern exciting designs using only the best quality materials and made entirely by hand.”

Your Report Card, Mr. President L

ast week marked the one-year anniversary of Barack Obama’s election victory. It was a significant moment for millions of Americans, the crest of a wave that built steady momentum amid a season of fear and uncertainty. When the President-elect spoke to a cheering throng in Chicago’s Grant Park about “a new dawn of American leadership,” many wanted badly to believe him, to embrace the buzzwords— hope, change—that catapulted the Hawaiiborn Junior Senator from Illinois to the nation’s highest office.

Of course, the Obama Administration is still young. In that same speech, Obama warned that “the road ahead will be long.”

But it’s not too early to begin to judge his accomplishments, to hold his promises up to the harsh light of reality.

Here’s a look at six key issues Obama pledged to tackle (a small sampling: overall he made 510 distinct campaign promises according to the fact-checking organization PolitiFact) and where his efforts stand.

STABILIZING THE ECONOMY The promise: “The middle-class need a rescue package…It means we are helping state governments set up projects that keep people in their jobs.” – October 7, 2008 The reality: The Obama Administration claims that the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has created or saved more than 600,000 jobs, and estimates that number will be more than 3 million by the time all the money has been paid out. Multiple examples of numbers-fudging have been uncovered (last week The New York Times reported that a $1,047 ride-on lawnmower purchased for a cemetery in Arkansas was being credited with creating or saving 50 jobs). In the end, it’s simply too early to tell what the long-range effects of Obama’s economic policies will be. The mess he inherited was deep and wide and the result of multiple factors. One thing is certain: as long as unemployment keeps rising, any temporary gains made by the stock market won’t lift the spirits (or the bank accounts) of most Americans.

Grade: Incomplete

ENDING THE WAR IN IRAQ The promise: “When I am commander in chief, I will set a new goal on day one: I will end this war. I will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq.” - March 19, 2008 The reality: Thousands of troops have been pulled out of Iraq, but about 120,000 remain.

And even after the planned “withdrawal” is complete in August 2010, the President has said between 35,000-50,000 U.S. soldiers

will remain in the country at least through 2011. Add the escalation in Afghanistan and it seems inevitable that open-ended foreign occupations will define Obama’s presidency almost as much as they did Bush’s.

Grade: C

REFORMING HEALTH CARE The promise: “I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as

Yes we could.

president that will cover every American…”

- June 23, 2007 The reality: Some argue that passing any health care reform will be a victory. But by abandoning a single-payer option at the outset, Obama allowed the insurance companies and his political opponents to set the parameters of the debate. The best we can hope for now is a watered-down version of the already watered-down bill passed by the House, which may not even include a public option. This can’t all be pinned on the President, but he is guilty of ceding more ground than he had to and entrusting the details to the lobbyist-ridden sausage factory that is Congress. He clearly wanted to avoid another Clinton debacle, and he has. But that won’t help the millions of Americans who will still be without health insurance even if this “reform” limps across the finish line.

Grade: D+

CLOSING GITMO The promise: “We’re going to close Guantanamo. And we’re going to restore habeas corpus…We’re going to lead by example—by not just word, but by deed.” June 24, 2007 The reality: Shortly after taking office, Obama made a splash by signing an executive order to close the controversial detention center. Then reality set in. The prisoners would have to go somewhere, and none of the options (releasing them to their home countries, moving them to facilities within the United States) were politically popular. Give the President points for ambition, but, in his desire to make

a symbolic break from his predecessor’s War on Terror tactics, he trumpeted this “success” prematurely.

Grade: Incomplete

DEALING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE The promise: “Now is the time to confront this challenge once and for all…

My presidency will mark a new chapter in America’s leadership on climate change.” November 18, 2008 The reality: After eight years of oil men in the White House, having a President who admits climate change is real and is the result of human activity is a breath of fresh air.

But acknowledging a problem and taking the necessary steps to deal with it aren’t the same thing. Most scientists agree that dangerous, perhaps irreversible tipping points are approaching (or have already passed us by) and that drastic action to reduce CO2 emissions is needed now. A cap-and-trade system was included as part of Obama’s February 2009 budget. But even if it’s enacted, it may be a Band-Aid on a gaping wound—in a June New Yorker article, NASA scientist James Hansen called cap-and-trade a “sham” that doesn’t come close to addressing the problem, and he’s not alone in that sentiment.

There’s still time for Obama to get serious and start making bold decisions, but not much.

Grade: D

STRENGTHENING INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCES The promise: “Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe...to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice and a global commitment to progress.” - July 24, 2008 The reality: To say the Bush Administration set back diplomacy is like saying Hurricane Katrina left a few puddles in New Orleans.

As others have pointed out, simply being “not Bush” gave Obama a head start in international relations. But his eloquence, natural charisma and respectful, at times humble, rhetoric have helped repair damaged relationships with key allies. Whether that will foster meaningful multilateral action on any of the issues mentioned above remains to be seen (the Nobel Committee is betting a Peace Prize that it will). Yet having a President who walks onto the world stage without a swagger and speaks without mangling his native tongue is a step in the right direction.

Save the Pseudorca Studies show dramatic decline of Hawaiian false killer whales

V

“

T

issue and DNA sampling by the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in LaJolla reveal that this island group has been isolated and has evolved here over tens of thousands of years,” says Baird. “It is likely that as near-surface predators, they found more predictable, reliable feeding close to the islands.”

As top-of-the-food chain feeders, Pseudorca subsists on mahimahi, yellowfin tuna, ono, monchong and other uppertrophic level fish. “Basically, they eat all the same kinds of fish that we do,” says Baird.

Their feeding habits are a major factor behind their decline. Dwindling fish stocks mean more competition for their target foods, as their prey become more limited in numbers.

False killer whales are also known for taking fish off hooks, a behavior that has resulted in the creatures being killed as

Not a killer. But being quickly killed off.

isitors and residents alike marvel at the sight of Hawaii’s cetacean winter residents, the humpback whales. Due to a few decades of protected species status and continuing research, we know that their once-dwindling numbers have steadily rebounded.

But recent studies indicate a lesser-known species, Pseudorca crassidens, or the false killer whale, has the smallest population of the 18 species of toothed whales and dolphins found in Hawaiian waters. Robin Baird of Olympia, Washington-based Cascadia Research—a 30-year-old nonprofit founded by biologists at Evergreen State College—has studied marine mammals in the Hawaiian Islands since 2000. He’s taken a keen interest in Pseudorca, and is helping to elucidate the reasons for their steady decline.

“Until recently,” says Baird, “false killer whales hadn’t received funding. Nobody was researching them.” Studies and photographs

by Dan McSweeney of the Wild Whale Research Foundation in the 1980s—and aerial surveys by University of Hawaii’s Joe Mobley from 1993 through 2003—show a once vibrant population now in steep decline. Randy Reeves did aerial observations in 1989 that showed several large groups of Pseudorca off the Big Island’s Kohala Coast, before the population crashed.

In fact, the surveys done by Reeves and Steve Leatherwood showed that the largest group sizes were almost four times larger than the entire current Hawaiian population estimate for false killer whales.

It is now believed there are approximately 123 individuals in the insular Pseudorca population, which has been determined to be genetically unique. In other words, these whales are truly kama‘aina. And they’re in trouble.

bycatch in open ocean longline fisheries.

Whales and dolphins that accidentally ingest hooks, leaders and line may also perish from perforated intestines, an equally insidious threat. Observation of dorsal fin disfigurement is a probable indication of interacting with line fisheries.

Placement of satellite tracking tags is done in part to determine the extent of this type of interaction.

Biopsies also show the toxic accumulation of substances such as PCBs and DDTs that compromise the animals’ immune systems.

With these substances stored in their blubber, they metabolize it more readily when their food supply is unstable.

All these threats point to the Hawaiian false killer whale as being the marine mammal species of greatest conservation concern. The Natural Resource Defense Council recently filed a petition with the National Marine Fisheries Service to list the species as threatened or endangered. If NMFS determines within 90 days that the petition has merit they will convene a biological review team to make an evaluation, a process that could take a full year.

“NRDC has been involved here for years,” says Baird, “as has Earthjustice” (which sued NMFS over bycatch). “All our work is collaborative.”

Baird, raised in British Columbia, worked with Maui as his home base in 2000-2001.

The following year he expanded his work to the Big Island and Oahu. In 2003, the

year he began working with Cascadia, they added waters surrounding Kauai to their studies. Baird now makes an average of three trips to Hawaii each year, and publishes results and photos of his work on Cascadia’s Web site (cascadiaresearch.org/hawaii/ falsekillerwhale.htm).

The Web link also features an animation display of the movement of five individuals with satellite tags over a ten-day period.

They range from waters off South Point, to Kohala, nearly to Hilo and back again.

Baird says that earlier this week, two tagged whales were tracked off Oahu’s North

Pseudorca bear one calf every six or seven years, making them extremely vulnerable to the numerous threats they face.

Photo-identification through unique dorsal fin markings show that Pseudorca form lasting bonds. They have long life spans (into their 60s), and are slow to reproduce, bearing one calf every six or seven years. Thus, their population is likely to be slow to recover from the numerous threats that have seen it rapidly dwindle over the past two decades.

C

ascadia’s Web site notes one unusual behavioral trait: “[Pseudorca] share their prey, not only with their companions, but also with humans.

A Pseudorca that was alone in British Columbia and Washington from the late 1980s until a few years ago, far from their normal range off Mexico, repeatedly caught large salmon and would offer them to boaters. In Hawaiian waters, Pseudorca have offered fish to human snorklers and divers.”

Shore, another at Penguin Banks and a fourth off the north tip of the Big Island.

Tagging follows the same protocol used over the past 20 years for whales and dolphins, with a small titanium dart attached to the dorsal fin. “Usually the tags stay on about a month,” says Baird, “but they have lasted as long as 76 days.”

Clearly, greater attention is needed to assure the long-term survival of Pseudorca, and to help them rebound to numbers seen as recently as two decades ago. Given the existing threats and plummeting numbers, the scientific studies Baird is doing with his colleagues and collaborators may be essential to pulling the species back from the brink of extinction. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/rr17

PRETTY FLY Scientists at the University of Toronto know how to make fruitflies sexually attractive to flies of both sexes and to different fly species—by removing the specific hydrocarbon brain cells that produce the pheromones thought to attract sex-specific mates. (Only the choice of partners was modified and not horniness level.)

AND YOU THOUGHT THE TAVARES CARICATURE WAS BAD Mayor Stu Rasmussen, 61, of Silverton, Ore., elected last year even though he dresses openly as a woman, drew criticism from officials of a community group in July when he addressed students while wearing a miniskirt and a swimsuit top.

Critics suggested he should dress at least in “professional” women’s clothes when speaking to youth groups.

ONE PERSON’S TRASH… New Zealand’s Waikato National Contemporary Art Award in September (worth the equivalent of $11,000 US dollars) went to Dane Mitchell, whose entry consisted merely of discarded packaging materials from all the other exhibits vying for the prize.

Mitchell called his pile “Collateral.”

(Announcement of the winner was poorly received by the other contestants.)

FETISHES ON PARADE In September in Truro, England, David Truscott, 40, was sentenced to four months in jail for repeatedly trespassing on the farm of Clive Roth by playing in the farm’s manure-spreader while wearing only his underwear (and, curiously, rubber gloves).

Truscott told the court that he had a sexual fetish for manure. Three weeks earlier, Gary Moody, 49, was charged in federal court in Portland, Maine, with lingering inside a pit toilet in the White Mountain National Forest. He admitted to having “an outhouse problem.” Moody was not caught in the act, but because he had pleaded no contest to a similar incident in 2005, he was a prime suspect and eventually confessed.

in Englishspeaking Canada, might have received a boost in spirits in September when the Canadian military ordered its airmen assigned to the North American Aerospace Defense Command to learn French.

However, the contract was awarded to French instructors of a company in the United States, which many Canadians feel is even more chronically over-appreciated.

INSTANT CARMA Zach Schultz of Denver became the most recent victim of wind, costing him his car. While driving down Colorado Boulevard in July, he tossed a lit cigarette out the window, but it landed in the back seat and set the car on fire and he was not able to save it.

GIVE US A (PRISON) BREAK Sylvester Jiles, 24, became the most recent casualty among former inmates who try to break back into prisons (in Jiles’s case, to seek “protection” from threats to his life on the outside). In August in Brevard County, Fla., Jiles was hospitalized for a heavy loss of blood that resulted when he fell into the razor wire inside the wall.

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS Daniel Taylor Jr., 33, was arrested in Elizabethton, Tenn., in September following a domestic disturbance complaint against a neighbor. A sheriff’s deputy had gone to Taylor’s house by mistake, wrongly thinking it was the source of the complaint, but Taylor immediately surrendered to the deputy anyway, and turned around to be handcuffed. When the deputy inquired why Taylor thought he should be arrested, Taylor said he assumed the deputy had come to arrest him for violating probation on earlier charges.

the target species so that the boat can return with only the largest, most valuable fish.

Together, these practices raise the cost of fishing to 1 million tons of fish discarded for every 3.7 million tons produced.”

This and many other facts about open ocean aquaculture and our project in particular are ignored by Parsons and others who simply want to stop open ocean aquaculture. Hawaii Oceanic Technology, Inc. is a Hawaii-based company owned in majority by people who live here and want to see a better future for Hawaii. Parsons and F&WW like to argue that the ocean belongs to everyone and should not be used by companies to make a profit. If that were the case, we would have no oceanbased tourism, cruise ships, recreational fishing industry or transportation of goods through our waters. Our plan is to show the world an environmentally responsible and economically sustainable way to farm the ocean as we farm the land. Our advisors are marine biologists, ocean scientists, oceanographers and people who care deeply about saving our oceans. I respect Parsons’s right to have an opinion, but he should have been upfront about the fact that he is being paid to have this particular opinion.

Re the November 5 Rob Report “Fishy Business”: I am sure your readers would like to know that, according to a November 9, 2009 posting by Christina Lizzi, one of 52 people employed full-time by Food and Water Watch (F&WW), a Washington, D.C. lobby firm that has taken a public stance against open ocean aquaculture in Hawaii, “Rob Parsons is on contract with Food and Water Watch as an outreach coordinator.”

This fact was not disclosed by Parsons and is not public knowledge. One of the most persistent myths about aquaculture perpetuated by Parsons and groups allied with F&WW is that fish farming is less efficient than traditional fishing. Allow me to excerpt an article written by Dave Anderson of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach California and published on their web site Seafood for the Future: “Pelleted diets have a nutritional profile designed for a given species. Cultured fish do not spend energy hunting for food. Feed pellets are bite-sized to minimize waste in feeding….

Fish production increases exponentially when high order consumers [tuna] are farmed using lower level baitfish….the judicious use of baitfish in farmed fish feeds is a far more sustainable way to produce seafood than the harvest of highvalue marine fish from already declining fisheries…[I]n wild fisheries, non-target fish…are thrown over the side dead or dying. [Then there is] the practice of highgrading, discarding smaller individuals of

Rob responds: It is regrettable that in responding to the array of questions and concerns raised in my recent article, Hawaiian Oceanic Technology’s CEO would resort to a personal attack rather than substantive answers. It seems as though HOT has taken a page out of Hawaii Superferry’s PR manual—continually relying on print media viewpoints to spin their proposal’s supposed benefits, rather than engage in meaningful public discussion and debate, which they have continually avoided. My part-time association with Food & Water Watch, a reputable, respected national consumer advocacy nonprofit, has never been kept secret. It was, in fact, published in a Maui Weekly front page story four months ago, and disclosed to the BLNR when I submitted six pages of testimony regarding HOT’s grandiose plans for an industrial-scale ocean feedlot. Hawaii grassroots cultural and environmental groups are extremely fortunate that F&WW’s support and resources are helping to educate communities about the broad negative impacts that aquaculture operations have caused worldwide. It is disingenuous for Spencer to refer to his proposal as “environmentally responsible,” and I encourage him to read peer-reviewed scientific studies on the impacts of fish feed on our world’s oceans, and upon the spread of pathogens and pollutants. His phrase “economically sustainable” only means he thinks they can be wildly profitable, but is a misuse of a word properly used to describe

responsible use of available local resources.

Until Spencer understands that discourse with the community is vital to the success of any project, he will likely be frustrated when faced with opinions divergent from his own profit-motivated ideas. He promised the BLNR he would reach out to the people of West Hawaii and schedule meetings to hear them.

Let’s hope he keeps his word. Had he done so earlier in the process, it is possible HOT could have avoided the contested case hearing it now faces.

Re your story “Swine Flu: WTF is Going On?”: There is not one shred of evidence that vaccines work. Western medicine is operating like they are in the dark ages. Vaccines are the cause of most, if not all, neurological and chronic disease. My family is living proof of the destructive nature of vaccines.

Everyone who thinks that modern medicine = dark ages, please don’t get vaccinated! Leave the precious vaccine for people who don’t want to get sick and then possibly infect someone who will infect someone who will die.

The Unemployment Survival Guide

Collecting your benefits can be an uphill battle. But it shouldn’t be an unwinnable war

By Sara Tekula ✚ Illustrations by Ramiro Alonso

W

hen I first arrived on the scene, my name was added to the bottom of a list about four pages long. There were at least 40 people waiting ahead of me. Between rotating shifts of reading my copy of The New Yorker, posting my frustrated thoughts to Twitter and playing solitaire on my phone, I looked up to watch how she handled person after person who came to speak with her. The same tone of voice, same bewildered look, same apologetic language that seemed canned and repetitive. I felt bad for her, and for the people who had to speak to her. Nothing about this felt good. I actually thought I was going to be sick.

This particular visit cost me more than three hours of my life, two changes in parking spots and several bitten fingernails before it was finally my turn to speak to her.

I rushed up to the window, bursting with hope, and she gave a response that caused several of my happiest braincells to commit instant suicide. “Well, there's only one person here who can talk to you about that issue, and he's on the phone. He's been on for a while, so...don't know how long he'll be. And then, when he's done, he still may not talk to you. See, the people back there at the desks, some of them talk to folks at the counter, others don't.”

No, this isn't a David Lynch movie. It's the unpleasant, labyrinthine world of the unemployment office.

'US' VS. YOU

A

bout seven weeks ago, I was informed I was being laid off from my full-time job working for a Maui nonprofit. I was appraoching my two-year anniversary there, and I didn't see it coming. I didn't have any money saved, and had no idea where I'd look for my next job in such a dismal job market. As they broke the news to me, I tried to stay positive: This could be a good thing, or could lead to new opportunities. Even though the outlook was bad and getting worse, I kept my spirits up for the last several days on the job. A few of us even met up for a drink at the end of my last day. Then, once I left for good, I experienced a range of emotions akin to being suddenly dumped by a long-term boyfriend.

After the first gut-punch of shock wore off, I immediately began questioning my own worth. I went from a confident, professional, functioning adult with a 4-year degree to an unemployable, unwanted, useless buffoon overnight. I lost my rhythm and couldn't figure out how leave the house. I stayed in my pajamas, indoors on perfectly gorgeous Maui days. I didn't shower. I even watched a Matthew McConaughey movie (it was getting serious). I became obsessed with checking the company website daily until my photo and bio were taken down from the “About Us” page. When it was gone, and I was no longer part of the “us,” I started wondering why I was the one that was sacrificed during company downsizing: Was it something I said or did? Wasn't I passionate enough? Wasn't I worth something? Would I ever become a productive member of society again?

After about a week of self-loathing, poor hygiene and bad Netflix movies, I realized something else: there was no possible way I could survive without filing for unemployment benefits with the state of Hawaii. I'd been reading all about it in the news: our country's economy is only at the beginning of what they call a “jobless recovery,” where the unemployment rate stays high while business productivity starts to rise. In other words, employers are getting more output from the workers they have (probably because those workers are afraid of being laid off), and the outlook is too grim for businesses to justify hiring new people. Clearly I would need help.

My instincts started to kick in. I would soon have to pay rent, utilities, car insurance, health insurance and figure out how to feed myself. At the same time, I would have to ferociously and fearlessly try to find a job. I couldn't pick and choose—in order to make it through what could prove to be a lengthy job search, I needed to keep a roof over my head, gas in my car and food in my belly. So I pulled myself up by my slipper straps and filed for unemployment.

'THEY MAKE YOU WORK'

I

t was my first time navigating Hawaii's State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. Naturally, I started with a Google search. I found the state Web site easily, and right away it seemed that I could file everything online as long as I was totally unemployed and had worked only for Hawaii employers. All I had to do was “click here.” This would be easy.

Oh how naïve I was. It turned out to be a complicated, error-prone, highly questionable process that required my careful time and attention. What's worse, while navigating through a tangled safety net, I almost lost my right to collect benefits.

“Around here, they make you work for your unemployment,” a three-times unemployed construction worker advised me.

Another man, forced to come out of retirement only to find himself unemployed, tried to spell it out for me.

“I've called the unemployment number at least 20 times today, and whenever I got through, I'd hear a recording that says they have too many callers and that I need to call back. That's why I came here from the West side, to simply talk to somebody. It's so

messed up, a lot of needy people probably give up and fall through the cracks. And that would save money for the state, whose unemployment fund is being used up. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that they want you to give up.”

This kind of talk made me furious. I know my rights—I worked very hard at my job for two solid years, and just need a little help to get through the transition while looking for a new one. According to state labor law, I am entitled to access this fund. I was laid off, not fired. I am looking for work. Besides, back in February when Obama signed the the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it included a section called the Unemployment Insurance Modernization Act (UIMA), which was designed to “keep hardworking families from falling through the cracks.”

OK, so they're acknowledging that the system's flawed, and earmarked $7 billion dollars to fix it. There should be enough support to help me—why would I have to work for it? I decided then and there that there was no giving up. In fact, during the process, I would make sure I'm comfortable, stimulated and able to share everything I've learned with others. And man, are there others.

SCARY STATISTICS

L

ast week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a new report stating that nationwide unemployment rates (currently at 10.6 percent) are higher than they've been since the early '80s. Of course, that figure only represents the folks like me, who are recently unemployed and haven't given up. The actual number is likely much, much higher; 7.3 million jobs have been lost since 2007, which is the longest stretch of job ➔

losses we've had in about 70 years. What's even scarier is that the underemployment rate (which includes the unemployed and those who can only find temporary or part-time work) is up to 17 percent.

According to an article in the November 8 edition of The New York Times, "At no time in post-World War II America has it been more difficult to find a job, to plan for the future, or—for tens of millions of Americans—to merely get by." Add the fact that 35.6 percent of unemployed people have been jobless for 6 months or more and we've got some seriously struggling Americans out there, with no real promise of change on the horizon. It's scary.

After 5 penniless weeks of “working for it,” 12 hours of which were spent actually waiting in line during three separate visits to the State Unemployment Office in Wailuku, I finally received my first weekly benefit check—an amount equaling a whopping 50 percent of what I made weekly at my old job. Yes, it's something, and I'm glad it finally went through, but it's the only income I've brought in for the entire month of October. One week's unemployment is nowhere near enough to pay the bills for the month. I'm screwed.

On the bright side, now that my benefits have gone through and been approved, I feel vindicated. I'm proud that I didn't give up, that I have navigated the labyrinth. I have officially achieved my first post-layoff accomplishment.

Maybe I'm not a loser after all! Having made it out the other side, I couldn't help but think that other well-intentioned, recently laid-off people may be questioning their worth. What's worse, they'll have to go through the same dark, dysfunctional the system that I did.

So here is my gift to them. Pay attention: one day, it could be you.

SURVIVAL TIPS First, the basics: LOCATION: Maui Claims Office (state building, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations), 54 S High St, Rm. 201, Wailuku, (808) 984-8400 HOURS OF OPERATION: 7:45am-4:30pm, Mon.-Fri. (not including holidays and furlough days) NUMBER OF WINDOWS OPEN AT MAUI LOCATION: 2 for claimants, 1 for employer services AVG WAIT TIME TO SPEAK TO A PERSON: 2 hours, 30 minutes AVG NUMBER OF PEOPLE WAITING AT ANY GIVEN TIME: Between 20 and 30 WEB SITE FOR ONLINE FILING: hawaii.gov/labor/ui PHONE NUMBER FOR PHONE FILING: Applications from Hawaii: (808)643-5555; applications from outside Hawaii: (877)215-5793 Go ahead, open your claim online or by the phone. BUT! Don't stop there. Visit the local unemployment office within a few days of your filing, just to be sure that everything was completed correctly and to find out if there's anything else you need to do.Yes, you'll have to wait up to three hours to speak with someone.

Take it from me, you do not want to wait at home for them to tell you that you missed something—it might never happen. To their credit, there is a lot of stress on workers in this particular department, especially considering the steady rise in lost jobs. And yet—things are not consistent or fair in these parts. A substitute teacher I know received a checklist in the mail with the things she was missing clearly marked.

I, on the other hand, did not receive one sign via mail or otherwise that my application was incomplete. Do yourself a favor and show up in person and ask all of the questions you can think of. Get names, take notes.You will likely have to take an active part in this whether you want to or not. Keep records and get everything you can in writing.

Do not believe everything you read in the paperwork you are mailed/emailed/ given. Here's another thing I've learned the hard way. There are conflicting instructions in the numerous “handbooks” and documents that are mailed or e-mailed to you, as well as in the info you'll find on the Web. I read on one form that I had the option of “registering for work” by filing online via the State Workforce Development Web site (hirenethawaii.com), or by showing up in person to the Workforce Development office in Wailuku. Turns out, the online filing I did didn't count, and I had no way of knowing. Trust me, go in and talk to someone. They're the only ones who might be able to give you a straight answer.

Upon arrival at the office, sign in right away, printing your name clearly. Be sure to include the time you signed in. In my 12 hours spent at the Unemployment Office, I've noticed a handful of people who show up and don't immediately sign in. Some of them end up waiting a long time before they realize there's a sign-in sheet on the counter inside.There are no flashing signs, no greeters offering you help. Just a small note above a window and a clipboard in an often crowded, tiny room. Be sure to include the time you signed in, since people are taken in the order they arrive. Another point worth noting: for certain things, you won't have to wait on the general line. For example, if you're turning in a form, you should simply show up with your completed form and put it face down on the counter next to the sign-in sheet.

Supposedly this pile of forms allows the workers to more specifically address your case and could save you some time.

Protect your back and your butt: bring something to sit on. There are only five chairs available in the small indoor waiting area, so the majority of people can be found waiting outside the office on the concrete benches (which seat approximately 12 people), or on the concrete steps that lead up to the building. There is no back support and that concrete is hard. I highly recommend you bring a small camping chair, something with back support that doesn't hurt your behind. Yes, it'll get you some funny looks.

People will think you work there, but will soon find out that you're one smart cookie.

Every so often, get up and move around to keep the circulation flowing.

Make a plan to fight boredom: bring something to read. You'll need more material than an issue of Maui Time (but that's a good start). Pre-load applications and games onto your cellphone if you've got one.Tweet/status update your friends about your situation. Bring an iPod or MP3 player, but keep the volume low enough so you can hear your name being called.You can bring a laptop, but there's only one power outlet available outside the building, so you might have to share it with others. I've applied for jobs online while I wait. If you're there at the right time, you can even join the lunchtime T'ai Chi crew. Or write an article about your experience. Anything you can do to avoid the mind-numbing boredom of waiting to hear your name called.

Take care of yourself: bring snacks and filtered drinking water in a re-useable bottle. The only food/beverage offering on-site is an outdoor, germ-infested water fountain that is accessible 24 hours a day from the street; in the 12 hours I spent waiting in line, I never once saw anyone brave enough to drink from it. On my second visit (once I had learned the ropes), I brought a bunch of water and some mixed nuts. By visit number three I had upgraded to water, a banana, a cookie and a bottle of iced tea. I noticed that my mood and the quality of my food/beverage were undeniably linked. This is about making it through with a minimum of frustration, so be kind to yourself and others.

Bring extra and share if you're feeling generous.

Be careful where you park. You'll be a while, so try to find an all-day parking spot.

The large lot behind the shops on Market Street (entrance on Vineyard near Market) is a short walking distance away and will save you the trip to move your car every two hours.

There are many paid/unpaid two-hour spots near the state building, so if you choose to go that route, count on having to move your car about 10 minutes before the two-hour mark (you're in Taguma country). When it's time to move your car, alert one of the staff behind the counter and they'll make a note next to your name so you won't be crossed off the list if they call your name while you're gone. This is the path of least resistance and will save you some major headaches if you're skipped over.

Do not make any solid plans for the rest of your day/afternoon. Twice when I visited, I waited the requisite two-and-a-half hours to see someone, and then another hour or so to speak with someone else about my specific situation. If you include the drive time, these visits took approximately five-and-a-half hours out of my day. I witnessed people waiting for several hours only to leave for an appointment they had made. Others arranged for rides to pick them up much earlier than was realistic. What a waste! Just make arrangements to set aside your day, plain and simple.

Be mindful of germs! At the unemployment office, hundreds of people touch the clipboard, the pens, the door handles, the countertops every day. I've never been a big germaphobe, but every time I've been there, I've been in close quarters with someone who is hacking up a lung. Bring hand sanitizer and take your Vitamin C. As frustrated as you might be, do not bite your fingernails.

(They probably have the swine flu.) No nosepicking. Wash your hands thoroughly before you eat anything and certainly before you go home to infect your loved ones.

You snooze, you lose. No matter how bummed you feel, you have to remain vigilant and strong every step of the way. The system is not designed to be easy. You have to be hands-on throughout the entire process or else there will be some inevitable piece of paper you were supposed to fill out that—left incomplete—will set you back weeks, if not months. That $7 billion of stimulus money earmarked to “improve” and “modernize” state unemployment programs has clearly not “trickled down” to our neck of the woods.

Realize that you are lucky you can talk to someone in person on Maui (even if it does take all day). In comparison, unemployed folks in California can only use the phone-in option, and often call over 200 times throughout the day without getting through to a human being. Here on Maui, at least waiting for hours gets you in front of a flesh-and-blood person, as overworked and exhausted as they might be. Try to be nice to the people behind the counter. It's not their fault they still have jobs and you don't. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/feature17

f you’re like me, you live to eat rather than eat to live. I consider myself a culinary explorer constantly in search of a new adventure. I found one in Kihei recently, tucked away at the Menehune Shores on the north end of town. Monsoon India—a new restaurant at that location—is Maui on the outside but definitely India on the inside, in look, taste and smell.

The walls are somewhere between mango and pumpkin, the hangings red and gold and the statuary—well, Indian.

But it’s the smells—of cardamom, cumin, cinnamon and, of course, curry—that really make you forget where you are.

This is a place where a yogurt drink is a lassi, which is nothing like a smoothie. And it’s also a place where any misconceptions you may have about curry are put to rest.

In India curry is a common term, used to describe any entrée with a sauce. But that certainly doesn’t mean they all taste the same, says manager Hari Reddy. In fact, he and Monsoon’s Chef Bindeshor insist nothing is further from the truth. So they offer six different curries with names like Vindaloo, Saag and Kadhai, served with any of nine meat, vegetarian or seafood choices.

ways), jumbo prawns and shish kabab.

Naan, leavened flat bread, is soft, puffy and also takes its turn in the tandoor. Order the bread basket with assorted naans and kulcha—a specific version with onions. It looks to be perfect for the unapologetic consumer of carbs. (I can’t imagine how I missed it, given my love of all things bread.)

I also somehow missed the Biriyanis section of the menu. These are Basmati rice dishes cooked with spices and saffron. For those new to Indian cuisine, saffron is also known as the most expensive spice in the world (thanks, Google). According to the description, it turns any rice dish to which it’s added saffron yellow (no big surprise), not 14K gold as you might expect.

If you’re looking to identify ingredients in any of Monsoon India’s dishes, good luck. Remember lassi, the yogurt drink? The only ingredient I came away with was yogurt. Oh, and the fact that I really liked it.

While the meal felt like a stroll down the streets of any northern Indian town, this dining experience was a little strange since it juxtaposed India indoors with Maui outdoors. The south side of the restaurant is completely open and looks out over the ocean, so you’re exploring the sights and smells of an exotic country while looking at an island sunset and sunburned tourists. It makes for an international dining adventure, without even packing a suitcase. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/dining17

The incorporation of shells into jewelry is their signature method; they hunt their shells with sustainability in mind, revering Mother Nature at every step. Working with silver and gold, Samantha creates striking pieces that invoke the ocean with subtle inspiration. Jewelry takes shape through puka shells, sunrise shells, starfish, cones PHOTO BY SEAN HOWER

f ambition could be bottled, the trio of girls behind Wings Hawaii would get it done. In most cases threesomes don’t work—there’s always that third wheel to throw off the balance. Not so for artists Samantha Howard, Melody Torres and Becky Vosh, who have formed a love triangle that achieves harmony against the odds.

Deep respect is a foundation of this trilogy, along with a firm belief in each other’s creativity and drive. After meeting as undergrads at University of Hawaii, they started collaborating on small projects, selling jewelry and hand-sewn clothing to friends. A few years later they settled on Maui.

I met the girls at their studio in Haiku’s Pauwela Cannery. The entry room is a large office space with desks pushed together.

Samantha’s jewelry-making area is littered with silver and gold, shells and gems and bits of wax. Upstairs is the screen-printing operation, and draping and cutting tables.

This is where the magic happens. Samantha points to their motto and mantra, “She Believed She Could So She Did,” which is painted as a mural on the wall. Each girl has her own strengths—Melody is good with numbers, Becky works on the graphic designs, Samantha has studied jewelry making since college—but in their collaboration they become greater than the sum of their parts. They all put blood, sweat and tears into the studio.

It’s apparent that their jewelry and clothing are inspired by the sea. The girls regularly go beachcombing, gathering shells and lost objects to incorporate into their designs. In their last collection they took this inspiration to the next level, creating three “muses” from an imaginary underwater world. The Wings seahorse girl, the miter shell girl and

are fluid, organic and feminine.

Their newest foray into hand-sewn designs and fabric has allowed them to learn new tricks—and gain more fans. Perhaps the most successful of their three muses was the miter girl. Named for the miter shell, her look inspired a screen-print design you can find on tank tops, and a hand screen-printed fabric that echoes the print pattern of the shell. The miter-patterned fabric takes hours to create in the studio and the end result is a breathtakingly realistic impression.

Wings has caught the eye of musician Paula Fuga, who wears their designs while performing. And the girls support other visual artists—they’re currently displaying unique pieces from a fellow designer.

Wings has executed several design launches, complete with fashion shows and parties replete with era-themed costumes. They gutted and built their own Haiku store, teaching themselves a bit of construction along the way. Now they’re preparing to launch a Paia location, as they move their operation to Baldwin Avenue.

My last chat with the girls finds them working an evening screen-printing push in the studio, flush with the excitement of expansion. They’ve added an assistant team of Robin Brown, Erica Wismar and Blair Ladd, and will be launching a grand opening on Friday.

Even in these uncertain times, the power of three creative spirits has helped this shoestring operation take flight. ■

Film Critique

What the Dickens?

Beloved holiday classic somehow turns into an action movie A Christmas Carol

★★★★★

Yes, a theme park ride is already in the works.

Rated PG/96 min.

O

f all the actors who’ve played Ebenezer Scrooge over the years, I have a soft spot for George C. Scott (others argue that Alastair Sim, Michael Caine and even Bill Murray were better).

When I was 17, I played Scrooge in the Ka‘ahumanu Hou production of Scrooge and, even at my young age, I understood that I was playing the world’s loneliest man, a wealthy curmudgeon who needed people in his life but was too good at pushing them away. Whether the role is played

by Scrooge McDuck or Frank De Lima, the story remains timeless and universal.

Even though you know how it ends, you watch or read it enraptured. Unfortunately, Robert Zemeckis’s new CGI motion-capture animated adaptation seems to think what Dickens had in mind was an action movie.

The screenplay mostly sticks to the outline of the original story and Jim

Carrey plays Scrooge with gusto, but his appearance and performance are similar to his Count Olaf character from Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, making his work seem not especially fresh.

The computer animation is vivid and beautiful when rendering Scrooge and his surroundings but uneven on every other character—Colin Firth and Gary Oldman appear like talking action figures.

Zemeckis faithfully reproduces the classic dialogue, but completely omits the crucial love story that establishes where

Scrooge went wrong in his life and, most disastrously, he makes Tiny Tim a barely significant side character. I recall a scene from Mickey’s Christmas Carol where Mickey Mouse, playing Bob Cratchit, stands at Tim’s grave, eyes full of tears as he places Tim’s crutch next to a tiny tombstone and it still chokes me up. Nothing in this new version makes any emotional connection.

Other big mistakes: Bob Hoskins, playing Fezziwig, cartoonishly bounces all over the screen, as though Hoskins were once again playing one of the Super Mario

Brothers. The ghost of Jacob Marley, whose scene goes on forever, loses his jaw and improvises as though he were Beetlejuice.

Scrooge is shown falling down flights of stairs and getting smacked around by giant icicles. Worst of all are the action sequences, which admittedly look great in 3-D but are big showy set pieces meant to keep the little ones from getting bored with all the talking.

Aside from the four ghosts, the story is populated by people—why couldn’t Zemeckis have made a live-action film and only rendered the spirits in CGI? I enjoyed the flawed but enchanting The Polar Express, and Beowulf was a great 3-D showcase, but I wish the director of some of my favorite films—like Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which seamlessly blended effects and animation with human actors—would go back and make a real, flesh and blood movie. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/film17

Maui Film Festival Candlelight Cinema Will return with the First Light: Academy screenings for Nov. & Dec. 2009.

New This Week 2012 - PG - Thriller - A turn of the Mayan calendar wreaks global special effects-aided havoc, in what is sure to be every doomsday buff’s volcano-erupting, tidal-waving crashing wet dream. John Cusack and Woody Harrelson are among the ensemble cast. 158 min.

Jacob Shafer PIRATE RADIO - R - Comedy - A motley crew of old British rock ‘n rollers stick it to the Man via the airwaves from a boat in the middle of the North Sea. When the Man strikes back, their loyal listeners rally to the rescue. 134 min. JS

Now Showing A CHRISTMAS CAROL & 3D - PG - Family - See this week’s Film Critique. 96 min.

AMELIA - PG - Drama - Hilary Swank plays Atchison, Kansas native, Amelia Earhart, the record-breaking American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean (in 1928, flying a Fokker F7). Alongside navigator Fred Noonan (in a rebuilt Lockheed Electra), she disappeared mysteriously over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, while attempting to become the first woman to fly around the world.

Pairing the story of inspirational Earhart with Swank, and it’s clear that this film is begging for more than a nod. 111 min.

ASTRO BOY - PG - Family - A skillful scientist creates a super-power robot in the image of his deceased son, known as Astro Boy. Still grieving, he rejects the replica he created. When aliens threaten the Earth, Astro Boy embarks on an adventure to save the planet, become famous, and reconcile with pops. 94 min.

THE BOYS ARE BACK - PG13 - Comedy - Based on Simon Carr’s acclaimed memoirs of the same title (2001), Clive Owen plays sportswriter Joe Warr—a widower who must contend with rearing two sons alone. Shot in the countryside of South Australia, it explores the vicissitudinous path the three men take through grief to unification. 104 min.

CIRQUE DU FREAK : THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT - PG13 - Fantasy - More lighthearted than Twilight, to which obvious parallels are drawn, this flick is based on novels by Darren Shan.

Pals Darren (Chris Massoglia) and Steve (Josh Hutcherson) peek in on a strange circus that’s come to town. How strange? Selma Hayek is the bearded lady, and oddly missing from most of the previews, I might add. Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) is fo’ realz vampire who, to Steve’s dismay, takes Darren into his ranks and a war with the Vampanese. 108 min.

COCO BEFORE CHANEL - PG13 - Drama - The life and rise of famed fashionista Coco Chanel are recounted in a biopic that appeals even to the clothing-clueless. 110 min.

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN - R - Thriller - Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) exacts revenge when the man who murdered his wife and children a decade ago, is released. Nick Rice (Jaime Foxx) is the prosecutor who was assigned to the case, and responsible for the plea bargain that saved the killer. Shelton—a brilliant sociopath pushed to the brink by his trials— contents with Rice, who he feels is part of a broken justice system. 122 min.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY - R - Horror - The same low-budget, high-yield strategy as The Blaire Witch Project (1999), this film follows a young suburban couple (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat) who move into a seeminglynormal starter house, but soon find themselves haunted by the things that go bump in the night.

So, they set up video cameras to help figure out what’s so frightening. 86 min.

SAW 6 - R - Horror - Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) is the Jigsaw’s (Tobin Bell) successor, and the FBI’s actions against him instigate another “game,” which reveals, in this sixth installment, the Jigsaw’s master-plan. 90 min.

THE BOX - PG13 - Horror - The titular item is sort of like a genie, but in addition to granting you a wish if you open it, it also kills someone.

Here’s betting the couple that finds it on their doorstep chooses the less moral path, or that running time is totally unjustified. 115 min. JS THE FOURTH KIND - PG13 - Horror - Gee, did I miss the First through Third Kinds? This is one of those inspired-by-true-events thrillers, about political shenanigans and mysterious disappearances in Alaska. (Hey, I solved the mystery: she left to go on a national book tour.) 98 min. JS THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS - R Comedy - A reporter in Iraq hooks up with a dude who claims paranormal abilities, and somewhere along the way a goat gets stared at. George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges star. 93 min. JS THIS IS IT - PG - Documentary - Drawing from over 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage of Michael Jackson, as he prepared for the comeback he for so long, longed-for (which would have kicked-off this summer in London, at The O2 arena), this film was produced with the steadfast backing of the Michael Jackson estate. An in-depth epitaph that also pays homage to the production efforts that never fully materialized, this stunningly produced documentary is a celebration of Jackson’s life, made with fans in mind—a non-critical look at the last life and times of one of the greatest performers of our age. 120 min.

COUPLES RETREAT - PG13 - Comedy - Stars Vince Vaughn, John Favreau, Jason Batemen (heh heh), Faizon Love, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis and Kali Hawk, as four Midwestern couples who embark on a surf, sun and sand retreat in order to reconnect.

Supposed hilarity ensues when the gurus there to guide them to marital bliss cause a quirky mess. 107 min.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE - PG - Family Director Spike Jonze teamed with Dave Eggers in creating the hip screen adaptation of this classic children’s tale, written and illustrated by the legendary Maurice Sendak. Staying true to the book’s delightfully moody palate, Jonze combines live action with CGI and (the all-too lost art of) puppeteering—bringing to life the whimsical characters beloved by so many since 1963. 94 min.

IN MY LIFE - Unrated - Comedy - A film from the Philippines, it stars Vilma Santos as (sh!t you not) Shirley Templo, a Filipino librarian who moves to New York to be closer to her estranged son, Mark (Luis Manzano). From there, the film explores the complex relationship she has with Mark’s partner Noel (John Lloyd Cruz), who helps Templo as she works through the frustrations of big city life. 120 min.

ZOMBIELAND - R - Horror - This is one of the few flicks I’ve been truly excited about.

Woody Harrelson plays the zombie slaying, kamikazi-cowboy “Tallahassee,” Emma Stone is “Wichita,” Abigail Breslin is “Little Rock,” and Bill Murray is himself. Uh, between Harrelson and Murray alone, what more to say?

See you there! 88 min.

Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not Filipino (or trying your hardest to pass), I would definitely recommend Lea Salonga. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won various international awards for her amazing voice, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also graced the stages of Broadway.

If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough for you, get thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freaking Jasmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Aladdin) and Fa Mulanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Mulan) singing voice.Yeah, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big deal when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re singing on Disney films.

Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gonna Dance Saturday (Nov. 14), Castle Theater, MACC, Kahului, 7:30pm, $45/$65/$75/$125 enough incentive, just for showing up youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be entered to win gift certificates from a plethora of fine establishments. There will also be a silent auction, where guests can bid on a two-night stay at Sheraton Wakiki, Kauai or Keauhou. Other items up for bid include tickets to Warren & Annabelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magic Show, as well as the Old Lahaina Luau. Although the event supports Maui youth and families, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leave the kids at homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a night like this should be dedicated to only drinking wine, not listening to itâ&#x20AC;Ś. Once, a good friend and I discussed wine. Well, actually, it was more of a monologue. While he went on about â&#x20AC;&#x153;full-bodied flavorsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;floral notes,â&#x20AC;? I stared at my toenails and wondered whether I should repaint them. Embarrassingly enough, when I drink wine, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever identify that stuff. I mean, I can tell you whether or not a wine is any good, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you why.

Maybe that will change at the second event on our agenda, George Kahumoku, Jr. & Bob Brozmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kani Wai (Sounds of Water) CD Release Wine Dinner, happening at Luluâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Lahaina. The three course wine dinner (featuring fabulous fare including shrimp crusted mahimahi and a chocolate lave soufflĂŠ topped with homemade caramel) will also include a Kani Wai CD (for listening to, not eating). In addition, Alan Suzuki, a well-known local wine representative, will be talking about the vintages being served. If dinner, drinks and music are your idea of a good time, RSVP now. [YT]

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a busy weekend at the MACC. As Lea Solanga exits the stage (no doubt to thunderous applause), the venue will immediately begin preparing for the arrival of iconic twosome Loggins & Messina. With a smooth, leisurely sound that helped define the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, the duoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which broke up in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;76 but reunited in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;05â&#x20AC;&#x201D; promises to trot out all the hits, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Mama Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Danceâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Songâ&#x20AC;? (which was played at my wedding and has lyricsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;even though we ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got moneyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;that are still all too apropos). And you can bet whatever dollars youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got left after shelling out for a ticket that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lahainaâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was sitting at a table on an open bay/Waiting for a drink of rum/When I asked my waitress for the time of day/She said look out, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a centipede coming your wayâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?) Whether this show represents a nostalgia-laced trip down memory lane or an introduction, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday night than listening to a couple of legendary pop-rockers rekindle the flame.

LOGGINS & MESSINA - Sat, Nov 14. See This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Picks on Pages 20 and 21 for more. They topped the charts as a duo in the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, then embarked on successful solo careers thereafter, so few expected Kenny Loggins and Jimmy Messina to reunite in the way that they have--the duo themselves, included. Locals love their hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lahaina,â&#x20AC;? among many classics, and keiki too can groove to â&#x20AC;&#x153;House at Pooh Corner.â&#x20AC;? Having seen them myself, at the MACC (curiously, on November 13th of 2005), I can attest to the fact these star songsters have still got it. $45/$65/$75/$125.

CECILIO & KAPONO - Sat, Nov 21. The MACC praises Cecilio & Kapono (often called C&K, comprised of Cecilio Rodriguez and Henry Kapono) as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;provided the soundtrack for growing up in HawaiĂŤi during the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more. I remember ďŹ&#x201A;ying to Oahu as a young toddler with my Mauian parents who were eager to see their show. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember much other than being entirely intrigued

by Kaponoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild long hair and the waitress kindly bringing me a cocktail cup ďŹ lled with maraschino cherries (if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there, for over two decades I have been remorseful for not properly expressing my appreciation ;-), but regardless of my nostalgic musings, C&K still rocks and their local 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anthems have seen heartfelt translation to ever generation thereafter. I mean, hello? Twenty albums and eigh-

teen; Hanohano Awards between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Awesome. VIP package includes a pre-show meet-and-greet, and show souvenirs including a show laminate and poster. Additionally awesome. $12/$28/$37/(VIP $50).

sign.language.astrology@gmail.com SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Eliminate distractions. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect you to stop being obsessed with the things that fascinate you, but admit that right now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping you from getting to the other stuff you ought to be doing. Instead of trying to deny your own impulses, however, which will just consume more time and energy than you have to spare, may I suggest indulging them? Simply do so as efďŹ ciently as you can, and get them out of the way for now. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten your â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ x,â&#x20AC;? you should ďŹ nd concentrating on the task at hand much, much easier.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) While juvenile pranks are obnoxious, they have a playfulness that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost touch with as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten older. Maybe you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outgrown mooning someone out the car window, and no longer think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as hilarious as you did when you were 13. However, you might be surprised if you gave it a try.

This week try to recapture some of the silly, carefree spirit you had in abundance during your youth.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still joy to be had there, and playing around some will only enhance everything else you do. Get to it. Drop your drawers and let your ass-cheeks feel the breeze.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difference between a stiff upper lip and a full-on mask. Toughing it out through hard times is great, but pretending everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly ďŹ ne (when it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) does you a grave disservice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also unfair to all the people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there for, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love a chance to return the favor. I like your stoic ability to soldier on in the face of adversityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshing change from the people who whine about any little setback. However, sometimes you need someone to lean on. Remember, your friends like being needed. Let them; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) No oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect. Even those apparently â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectâ&#x20AC;? couples have to put up with a lot of shit from each other. The price of admission to most relationships is getting over something you sorely wish werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the equation, but just is. People who wait for the relationship math to work out perfectly mostly end up alone for a long time. Is that what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing? If so, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d re-check your calculations. Given that your beefs are mostly petty, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still well ahead of the game. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hesitate before throwing that away, if I were you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your dream job and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you actually do. How far apart are they? How have you contributed to that distance? Did you make your dream job virtually unattainable (rock star or president)? Or have you simply not been industrious enough in its pursuit? Whatever the cause, ďŹ nd ways this week to move your dream job and your real job a little closer together, either by revising your ideas about what exactly that dream job might be, or just putting your nose to the grindstone and doing the work it would take to get there.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Shit happened, but things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tainted â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever.â&#x20AC;? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be melodramatic. Your emotional response to recent crappy events is understandable, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong simply because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so recent; in retrospect itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably feel like an overreaction. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freak out and further complicate or poison the situation.

Take a break from it. Make up a great excuse and disappear for a week or two. When you return, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to approach this in a way that will still make sense ten years from now when you look back on this time. This bridge doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be burned, so put away the matches and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back until your pyromaniacal urges have faded.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Even if you secretly hate them, surprises are good for you. Taureans have a tendency to surround themselves with people who generally agree with them and follow their lead. That might be a pleasant scenario on the surface, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one that makes it dangerously easy to fall into a rut, and stay there for ages. Pull in some people who chronically surprise you. Having your life periodically shaken up by the unexpected from your unpredictable friends will keep you from going down that sad road. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have people in your life whose actions constantly entertain and astonish you, go ďŹ nd a few.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Sometimes taking the initiative is the thing to do; sitting on your hands and waiting for a job to come to you, for instance, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to work out very well. However, there are other things you should never force; if you tried, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d regret it. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only meaningful if they happen on their own. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand just to get the result you crave. Played that way, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel good when you get it.

Just get out of the way and wait and see what happens. That means you may be disappointed, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still better than pressuring someone into saying or doing something that simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come naturally.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Whenever a relationship goes through a transition, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fraught with emotional pitfalls and weirdness.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends becoming lovers (or the other way around), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes helpful to change other things up as well. A total blackout period can help kick off a fresh start, for example. Sometimes a complete change of venue is the way to go (â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens in Vegasâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?). Anyway, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to change any of your relationships, switch up some of the externals to make it easier for both of you to break out of the boxes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in. This week, incidentally, is a great time for that.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Keep up the good work. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set up some wonderful precedents and new habits for yourself over the past couple months. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your intrinsic laziness kick in and sabotage all that now. You know what the good stuff is. Maintain that momentum, and if you really need some down-time, carve it out of the rest of your life.; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like your new great habits are whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping you from all the lounging and taking it easy you also like to do. Actually, if you work things right, you should be able to get more done that you really want to do, and be lazier than ever before. This week, think up ways to do exactly that.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let much get in the way of things you feel you need to get done. That, my dear, is exactly the problem. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undaunted by illness, circumstance, or legitimate complications that would cause virtually anyone else to turn away and give up. We all admire your steely determination, of course, but you may want to revise your standards. Sometimes something just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to work out.

Occasionally even you need to take a sorely-deserved break. This week work on learning to listen to these not-so-subtle clues when they appear, and heeding at least some of them.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Avoid double-standards like the plague. Because of your intuitive ability to identify with almost anyone and see many different sides to a situation, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too inclined to make exceptions to a rule just because your compassionate heart goes out to someone. Unfortunately, the rules exist for a reason (you made some of them yourself, so you know that), and bending or breaking them willy-nilly will just get you into trouble all across the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sometimes even with the people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re breaking them for.

This week, by the book is the way to go, no matter how much your heart bleeds.
