NA KOA IKAIKA MAUI ON PRG SUIT I write in response to your piece regarding Na Koa Ikaika Maui in the Coconut Wireless section of your August, 4th edition. There are cloudy misconceptions to be addressed. Your report concerning the judgment against us, while factually accurate, should be amended. The judge ruled in default, a ruling that did not consider any actual merit or context of the case against us. The ruling was handed down to us due to clerical error (for which we take full responsibility), the result of which was an unfortunate technicality based solely upon the allegations in the complaint. If someone was looking for a “story” I would respectfully suggest they ask themselves “Why is a sports radio station and an ESPN affiliate trying so desperately hard to put the only professional sports franchise in Hawaii out of business? In nearly every identical market, the radio outlet pays the team for broadcast rights, not viceversa. In 2010, under original ownership, PRG broadcast Na Koa Ikaika games free of charge with a split of ad revenue. This is the standard industry agreement. Imagine our shock when PRG demanded $900 a game plus the announcers salary and travel costs! It’s no secret that our 2011 season came together on short notice, so we understood certain concessions would be made. We feel that Pacific Radio Group sensed our weakness and took advantage of the arrangement. In another shocking turn of events, we were threatened with the immediate garnishment of our bank accounts unless we paid their default judgment in full. Our protests that the judgment did not reflect what was actually owed was tossed as they pressed their technical advantage. We even offered to pay this inflated amount in full given time to do so, as to not interrupt our cash flow requirements. We asked for an audience with Mr. Chuck Bergson at Pacific Radio Group and attempted to come to an understanding that would allow us to remain safely operational. Our requests for compassion were ignored. To date we have paid PRG’s damages in full at great personal and organizational sacrifice that threatened

the financial health of the team we love so much. It’s no secret that Independent Baseball is far from a financial windfall. I’m not in this to make bundles of money. I bought this team because I saw the packed stands of Iron Maehera on a beautiful Hawaiian evening and am planning to move to the Valley Isle. I saw a fan base that deserved a team to call its own. I have personally invested over a half a million dollars so our baseball players can take the field for the enjoyment of the residents of this wonderful paradise. All my team asks for is a fair shake and a nonbiased media who know when a strike is a strike. For the 2011 Koa Ikaika, this has come in short supply. -Robert J. Young, owner, Hawaii Baseball LLC

HATES ROADS The article about O’s private road (“Oprah’s Private Road,” Aug. 4, 2011) states that the “locals have been waiting 40 years... that could ease traffic congestion.” We haven’t been waiting even one minute. Your comment betrays your lack of understanding of Maui’s culture and history. It has been public opinion of the people living Upcountry that has stopped, and will continue to stop, a road that has nothing to do with anything but divide-up land for development, and send loads of tourists to one of the regions on Maui that can boast not one hotel... and for reasons we understand as we attempt to keep this place from being merely another So Cal or Las Vegas. Unless you have been out-of-the-loop of the real Maui for some time, or you are a newcomer, you would recall that if it wasn’t for lots of good souls Big Beach would be a harbor with a flood of shops, restaurants and hotels. But, to keep the money from winning we fought hard and beat back the potential destruction. You have a chance to do good on Maui, and if you do you will be blessed. But, you will have to constantly review your values towards understanding that respect for the aina means respect for people over bizness [sic], church affiliation, or political whim and power. And, it means protecting the land as a core value, not seeing land as something to mine, but something to grow. -Lloyd Fischel, Lanikai Farms, Haiku

Talk of the Island

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

WILL DEMS FURLOUGH LINGLE? Pardon the cliche, but even though she has yet to make any formal announcement, former Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle is the 800-pound gorilla in the state’s 2012 U.S. Senate race. Longtime Democratic Senator Daniel Akaka is calling it quits, and Democrats like current 2nd District Representative Mazie Hirono and former 2nd District Representative Ed Case are lining up to take his place. What Lingle will do is unknown, but given the following, reported in the respected National Journal back in March, it’s easy to see her readying a run: “The announcement by Democratic Sen. Daniel Akaka of Hawaii that he will not seek reelection creates the first open Senate seat in the Aloha State since 1990 and presents a rare opportunity for the GOP to take the seat if former Gov. Linda Lingle jumps into the race,” reported Jennifer Duffy, who also writes for the venerable Cook Political Report. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), a powerful political action committee “Committed to Electing a Democratic Senate,” is taking a Lingle candidacy very seriously—so much so that on Aug. 8 they sent out a press release titled “Furlough Flashback! — Partisan Governor Linda Lingle Now Wants To Go To Washington” that denounces the former two-term governor in rather strong terms. “Not only was Lingle hyper-partisan, nominating Sarah Palin for Vice-President and accusing President [Barack] Obama of palling around with terrorists, she was also a huge disappointment as governor,” DSCC spokesman Matt Canter said in the press release. “Lingle’s decision to gut classroom time for thousands of Hawaii students drew an intense backlash from parents and teachers and was even singled out by the Obama administration as one of the worst decisions in the nation. Now, Linda Lingle is trying to hide her disappointing record as governor as she prepares for a U.S. Senate run. The fact is Linda Lingle tried to balance the budget on the backs of Ha-

waii students, and Hawaii residents will be sure to repay the favor and furlough Linda Lingle if she runs for Senate next year.” Damn, that stings. Given the fact that the DSCC is already bashing Lingle in advance of any official senate run an-

email sent yesterday [Aug. 5] and forwarded by one of the recipients, Carlson said David Black’s Oahu Publications, owner of the Honolulu StarAdvertiser, is demanding payment of about $20,000 in past due printing bills by next Wednesday, August 10,”

nouncement, it’s a good bet that Lingle could win the seat next year, previous school furlough disaster or not.

WILL HONOLULU WEEKLY GO UNDER? And now for some very bad media news that went down over the weekend: Honolulu Weekly, an independent alternative paper on Oahu that just celebrated its 20th year and is owned by publisher Laurie Carlson, is facing a dire financial situation, according to blogger Ian Lind (ilind.net). “In an

Lind reported. “They are ‘threatening, essentially, to close down the Weekly’ if they aren’t paid, Carlson wrote.” This is beyond bad. Honolulu Weekly is, like MauiTime, a member of the Association of Alternative Newsmedia (AAN), which means they offer the same hard-hitting news, colorful arts and entertainment coverage and comprehensive calendar listings that we do. Recent investigative stories they’ve done include a look at bank foreclosure tricks that were hurting Hawaii families and the pain caused by “sex-

tourism” in the islands. They’re also a small (36,142 weekly circulation, according to AAN’s member directory) for-profit company, which means private donations aren’t tax deductible. According to Lind, Carlson wrote in her email that she’s stopped paying Oahu Publications “not because we are ignoring our obligations but because we needed to use our existing cash flow to pay our current printers, Maui News.” Lind added that Carlson’s Aug. 5 email indicates that she’s already secured commitments for $6,500 of the $20,000 she needs. A spokesperson with Oahu Publications didn’t return a call seeking comment by press time. Carlson also declined to comment for MauiTime. “No thanks,” she emailed on Aug. 8. “Not happy that this was publicized. Its [sic] not helping our situation.”

WILL THIEVES RETURN SURFING GOATS? You read that right: On Aug. 4, person or persons unknown made off with two goats at the Surfing Goat Dairy in Kula, stated a press release sent out Aug. 5 by dairy owner Thomas Kafsack. And it wasn’t the first time, either: “On July 19th—also during daylight hours—someone stole… another 5 of our milking goats from [two] other pastures,” Kafsack added. So there is, on Maui, a goat rustler out wrecking havoc. I know this sounds silly, but Kafsack says the thefts will seriously hurt his business. According to Kafsack, the loss of the goats reduces his milking herd by nearly 10 percent. “Milking goats like these have a value of about $12,000 each,” Kafsack said in the news release. “[B]ut they are not only valuable, they are family to us. We know their mothers and fathers for several generations now.” Kafsack is offering a $5,000 reward for the return of the goats (no questions asked) or for information leading to the recovery of the goats and arrest of the thieves. If you any information, please call 878-2870. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1508n1

They did this because: A. People are highly dependent on mobile communications. B. Cell phone location data tracking is shrouded in secrecy. C. The National Security Agency (NSA) has already said it might have the authority to spy on Americans using their own cell phones. D. There's a bill before Congress that would require all law enforcement agencies to first obtain a warrant before using cell phone location data. E. All of the above F. A and B only G. B and C only

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPARD

CAN’T SPELL FUNERAL WITHOUT ‘FUN’ For years, many traditional funerals in Taiwan—especially in rural areas or among working classes—have included pop singers and bikinied dancers, supposedly to entertain the ghosts that will protect the deceased in the afterlife. According to a recent documentary by anthropologist Marc Moskowitz, until 20 years ago some of the dancers were strippers who did lap dances with funeral guests (the government later made such behavior illegal). Contemporary song-and-dance shows, like the traveling Electric Flower Car, supposedly appeal to “lower” gods who help cleanse the deceased of the more mundane vices such as gambling and prostitution (compared to the “higher” gods who focus on morality and righteousness).

ART ROCKS California’s state and local governments are rarely discussed these days without the pall of budget cuts looming, but apparently the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is safe because it’s spending a reported $1.5 million to move a big rock in from Riverside, about 60 miles away. It’s a 340-ton boulder that the museum intends to display above a sidewalk (“Levitated Mass”). The move will require a 200-footlong trailer with 200 tires, with one semitractor pulling and one pushing, at night, maximum speed 8 mph.

BLAME THE VOTERS Tennessee State Rep. Julia Hurley apologized in July and said she would pay for the refinishing of her desk in the legislative chamber after it was revealed that she had carved her initials in it during a January session. “It was like one in the morning on the last day of the session,” she told WSMV-TV. “I wasn’t thinking straight.” Rep. Hurley, 29, who has a daughter, 14, unseated a nine-term incumbent legislator in 2010 with a campaign that touted her time as a Hooters waitress. “If I could make it at Hooters,” she wrote in the restaurant’s magazine, “I could make it anywhere.”

CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE In June, the California Court of Appeals threw out the three counts of possession of child pornography for which Joseph Gerber had been convicted, even though what Gerber had done was paste face shots of his own 13-year-old daughter onto ordinary pornographic photos. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in 2002 that a conviction for making “child pornography” requires actual sexual abuse. Gerber had also been convicted of supplying the daughter with drugs and the court ordered Gerber re-sentenced.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT Georges Marciano, co-founder of the clothing company Guess? Inc. and ostensibly in no trouble with the IRS, nonetheless demanded in 2009 that the agency

audit him over the previous several years. The IRS turned him down, and he sued the agency in federal court in Washington, D.C., but in July, a judge rejected the case, declaring that federal law and the U.S. Constitution do not give anyone a “right” to demand that the IRS collect more taxes from them. Marciano perhaps hoped for the IRS to uncover cheating by his former employees and accountants, whom he thought were stealing from him. Paying higher taxes might have been worth it if the agency had made it easier for him to sue any cheaters.

HELPING DISASTER VICTIMS In May, following near-record floods in fields south of Montreal, Quebec, farmer Martin Reid made sure to apply for his fishing license because he had learned the hard way that when his land gets flooded, he cannot remove the fish washed onto it unless he is a licensed fisherman. After flooding in 1993, Reid and his father failed to secure a license and were fined $1,000. A second offense brings a fine of $100,000. And two weeks after the catastrophic April tornadoes hit Alabama and neighboring states, Bailey Brothers Music Co. of Birmingham offered to help. To soothe those suffering depression and grief from devastating property losses, Bailey Brothers sponsored weekly drum circles.

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES The usual furtive restroom photographer is male, but sheriff ’s deputies in Plantation, Fla., arrested Rhonda Hollander, 47, in July and charged her with several misdemeanors and a felony stemming from an episode in which she allegedly followed a man inside the men’s room at the West Regional Courthouse and snapped photos of him at a urinal. Hollander insisted she had violated no law, and indeed the charges against her were only for conduct after she was confronted by deputies (when she continued to take pictures as they led her away). Hollander is actually Judge Hollander, who works in the building as a traffic magistrate.

RECURRING THEMES Advances in DNA testing have improved society in several ways in the last two decades, especially in criminal justice, but in many states, one area remains a backwater, as News of the Weird has noted over the years: men’s obligation to pay support for children they did not father. Ray Thomas of Houston is the most recent frustrated complainant, with a court refusing to relieve him of the $52,000 in back child support he owes for a “daughter” that DNA has subsequently shown is not his. Ironically, in March the Texas legislature became one of the few to allow men like Thomas to present DNA evidence in order to end court-ordered support, but the state attorney general noted that the new law covers only prospective judicial orders. ■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1508n2

Stacie Williams puts together a science kit

received a complete science kit and curriculum to use in the workshop as well as later in the classroom. In addition, each teacher earned a $300 stipend. “The teachers really appreciated the wellstructured lessons on light, optics, sound, circuitry, as well as biology,” MEDB Project Manager Mapu Quitazol says. “But what really pulled it together for them were the fun hands-on activities. They can’t wait for school to begin to try them out with their students!”

PWF GETS NEW REGIONAL MANAGER

TEACHING TEACHERS STEM SKILLS It’s no jape, there are fewer female scientists than male ones. In fact, the National Science Foundation says biases against female students in the science classrooms persist, as do myths like “girls are less interested in science than boys are.” The Women in Technology Project (WIT), founded by the Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB) in 2000, has honed in on this issue. They’re now training Maui County educators in a three-day professional development course entitled “Science Building Blocks,” in a partnership with the Air Force Research Laboratory and University of Hawaii Maui College. The course offers teachers science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) training. “We know that girls start to make gendered career assumptions as early as age seven, so by supporting our teachers with the tools to teach science and math concepts in exciting and interesting ways, we know we are debunking the stereotypes that these subjects are boring and only for geeks,” says Leslie Wilkins, Program Director of Women in Technology. “WIT includes gender equity principles in all its trainings and will provide female science role models in follow-up support for the teachers.” Stacie Williams is the Program Director of Community Outreach for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). She’s determined to even up the numbers by motivating young girls, as well as boys, toward science even before they’re out of grade school. When Williams was in college, she she says she was the only woman in her physics class. “That was pretty typical in my advanced science courses,” she says. “By developing STEM programs for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders as part of AFRL’s outreach efforts, we’re working toward engaging Maui kids as early as possible.” They held their first course at Maui Economic Development Board’s Malcolm Center July 19-21. Eighteen elementary school teachers, including three from Molokai, signed up for the hands-on biology and physical science course. Each participant

Tapani Vuori has “hit the ground running” as Pacific Whale Foundation’s New Regional Manager and Retail Buyer, says Greg Kaufman, President and Founder of Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF). Tapani comes to the PWF with more than 25 years in retail, the last nine as Maui Ocean Center’s Retail Director. “I am originally from Finland and still remember vividly the day I stood at the bus stop bidding goodbye to my parents at the beginning of my journey all the way across the World, via few stops along the way.” Vuori says. “The Maui Ocean Center was a great organization that was a catalyst for me personally in becoming more interested and active in environmental issues, not only locally here on Maui, but also globally. I graduated from UCLA in 1987 and came to Hawaii in early 90’s, first Honolulu, and now on Maui for about 10 years. I am very excited to be part of creating a global brand that can and will change how we think about and take

A humorous look at how to market Maui BY MICK E. FINN

t was Mark Twain who noted that “Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.” It’s hard to argue with his point, but the Maui Visitors Bureau (MVB) is turning Twain’s wisdom on its head with a new marketing campaign. According to the Aug. 3 Maui News, the MVB has just completed an 18-month effort to make the actual advertising of the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai as small as possible. In fact, the organization is rebranding each island with a single word: “captivating” for Maui; “enlightening” for Molokai; and “enticing” for Lanai. According to The Maui News article, MVB Executive Director Terryl Vencl said travel agents and marketers love the new campaign. To get the perspective of a professional familiar with the campaign, I recently spoke with Sharon Glazer of the Glazer Group, a marketing firm based in Los Angeles.

for both you and your audience. So I’ll just boil it down to this: the campaign is too wordy. I’m sorry, too wordy? Yeppers. Um, their campaign is basically using just a single word to encapsulate the people, culture, climate, geology, history—everything—for an entire island. How is it “too wordy?”

cuts and pop-up ads, and they have something like 5,000 things competing for their attention at any given time. Seriously, who has time to read a word these days? Do you? I certainly don’t. Hey, don’t get me wrong—I love words. But it’s rush, rush, rush out there, and we’ve got to face facts. So... how would you fix the MVB advertising materials? Shave ‘em down to what really matters. And that is...

Sharon Glazer of the Glazer Group

I’m sorry, but I’m having a difficult time following you. Are you saying that in an ad for Maui—an ad designed to get people to spend lots of money on a vacation to Maui— you would just have a giant percent sign? Well, not just. Maybe there’s a picture of a waterfall or a pineapple with the percent sign. Trust me, all of marketing is going this way. Email, text messages, Twitter—it’s all going to abbreviations and hash tags and such. We’re just getting out ahead of the curve. Believe me, I’ve run two-way focus groups on this very subject until I’m blue in the face. Really? How many people in your focus groups? Oh, just one. [...]

MAUITIME: Thanks so much for speaking to us on this subject, Ms. Glazer.

Excuse me? Yeah, we’re kind of a small firm, so we have to cut corners here and there. A big office over the Miracle Mile isn’t cheap, you know. Anyway, yeah, usually it’s just me.

SHARON GLAZER: It’s no trouble at all. I love to talk marketing. I could talk marketing all day long. But you probably don’t have all day to talk marketing, do you?

Wait, you focus group yourself? But you said these were two-way groups, which I believe is where one focus group watches another test marketing or something. How do you do that with just one person?

No, not really. So you’ve seen the new Maui Visitors Bureau rebranding effort. What do you think? Hate it. Oh my God, I hate it. I really, really hate it. Seriously, I don’t know what they were thinking. Maybe it’s because you guys are way the hell out on Maui, so you don’t have access to most modern marketing techniques and skill-sets like we have here LA, but this whole thing is just cheesy and weak. I’ve seen five-year-olds do better marketing campaigns for their sidewalk lemonade stands. Wow, okay. So what’s wrong with the MVB campaign? Well, I could bore you with a bunch of multivariate statistics and flow charts, but that’s probably way too technical

PHOTO BY ISTOCK.COM

Basically, it runs in the face of everything we know about demographic shifts in attention span. For the 18-34s out there (the only real demographic most advertising is pointed at), they just don’t have the time, energy or desire to put into the kind of research the MVB advertising materials require. Your typical Millennial—someone born after 1980—has the attention span of a butterfly. You can thank MTV, sports drinks, video games, the Internet, whatever, but it’s true. They were raised on quick

Oh, I use a mirror.

Punctuation marks.

[...]

Um, what?

Okay, then. Ms. Glazer, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer my questions.

Characters. Single key strokes. I don’t know, I’m not on the clock or anything and it’s been a while since I’ve been to Hawaii, but it seems like Maui might be the percent sign, Molokai could be the ampersand and then Lanai could be, I don’t know, the asterisk? No, the island is bigger than that—make Lanai the “at” sign.

AUGUST 11, 2011

HOUGH HE INSPIRED one of the world’s great drinking holidays, St. Patrick never actually drove the snakes out of Ireland. Turns out, there never were any snakes to begin with. Hawaii, at the moment, finds itself similarly serpentfree. Then again, our isolated island chain was once bereft of mosquitoes, rats, mongooses, cats, dogs, pigs and humans—and we all know how that turned out. Will snakes be the next uninvited arrivals? If they are, how will they affect Hawaii’s fragile ecosystem and equally fragile economy? Are we doing enough to prepare and protect ourselves? The answers to those questions—wrapped in government cutbacks, bureaucratic headaches and low-level criminal activity—are far from reassuring.

LL-CONCEIVED.” “SHORTSIGHTED.” “BLIND IDEOLOGUE.” Those are some of the epithets that greeted Republican Governor Linda Lingle’s decision in 2009 to fire 50 of the state’s 95 agriculture inspectors. If the effort to stave off invasive species was a war, it was the equivalent of pulling more than half the troops off the battlefield. Lingle sold the move as a necessary evil, but environmentalists, activists, small farmers and just about everyone else with a stake in Hawaii’s ecological health wasn’t buying it. “Her management style is so outrageous, she should be removed from office,” Jeffrey Parker, president of Tropical Orchid Farm Inc., told The Maui News in September 2009. Almost two years later Lingle has been removed from office (by term limits) but Hawaii’s line of defense against invasive species remains frighteningly porous. Sure, last month Democratic Governor Neil Abercrombie approved the hiring of 10 new ag inspectors (all on Oahu) and signed Act 202, which directs the Department of Transportation to build new “biosecurity inspection facilities” at harbors and airports, but the department is still woefully undermanned. And it shows: in the six months prior to Lingle’s layoffs, inspectors made 1,457 interceptions statewide; during the same period the following year that number dropped to 730. “The more eyes you have looking, the more invasive species you’re going to find,” said Plant Quarantine Branch manager Carol Okada in a painfully obvious prepared statement. But eyes aren’t looking, at least not enough of them. So why haven’t snakes slithered through? Two reasons, mostly: the diligence of a few passionate individuals and a lot of luck. “There are some very maniacal people like myself who would do anything over and above the call of duty to keep [snakes] out,” says Fern Duvall, a Maui-based wildlife biologist with the Department of Land and Natural Resources. At the same time, Duvall admits, the threat is dire. “People should be worried,” he says plainly, before firing off a list of endemic animals he believes would disappear completely if snakes arrived on our shores, including the Valley Isle’s two rarest birds: the Maui parrotbill and crested honeycreeper.

10 AUGUST 11, 2011

“I would expect all of our birds, even common species, to die out,” says Duvall. “There isn’t a single safe bird.” After that, he says, snakes would move on to kittens, puppies—and anything else they could catch.

F YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE when snakes destroy an island, visit Guam. Brown tree snakes—native to Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands—arrived in the tiny territory right after World War II. In the intervening decades, they wreaked unimaginable havoc. First they killed off the native birds, which in turn caused the insect population to explode. The bugs de-foliated the trees, which doomed the lowergrowing plants and basically every other living thing on the island. Even the snakes, eventually, suffered. As a result, says Duvall, Guam is teetering on the brink of “total ecological collapse.” And now for the really bad news: U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors typically intercept thousands of brown tree snakes that otherwise would make the trip to Hawaii or elsewhere on ships, planes and cargo containers. But due to budget cuts and Washington’s new aversion to earmarks, money for those inspections may soon dry up. (Inquiries to Hawaii’s various Congressional representatives about the status of the funding weren’t returned at press time, but anyone following the current debt-ceiling nonsense knows the picture is bleak.) If Hawaii gets brown tree snakes it’ll obviously be bad for us, but that might only be the tip of the iceberg. “We’re such a portal to the rest of the United States as well as many other places, that we would have greater possibility of amplifying travel of these animals,” says Duvall. Recently, a venomous, tree-living snake similar to the brown tree snake was intercepted on furniture sent from Indonesia to Maui, tangled in packing tape. Luckily, the people who discovered the snake reported it, but what if they hadn’t? And how many others don’t? In fact, the idea that there are no snakes in Hawaii is a misnomer. State officials

receive dozens of credible snake-sighting reports, including the nine-foot female e boa constrictor that was spotted and captured last month in Honolulu. That snake, like many others, was probably somebody’s pet. To address that at persistent problem, officials have begun offering amnesty to anyone who volunntarily gives up an illegal animal. (Otherwise it’s a felony, punishable by up to three e years behind bars.) Already scofflaws have handed over more than a dozen aniimals since late June, including two ball pythons, two boa constrictors and two o albino Burmese pythons. That last snake’s relatives have made a home in Floriida’s Everglades, growing to lengths in excess of 20 feet and devouring everything g from pigs to alligators to small children.

F COURSE, snakes aren’t the only invasive e species that could wreak havoc in Hawaii. i. From red fire ants to biting midges, the list of creatures that would upset the state’s tenuouss natural balance is long. But snakes occupy a special place in our imagination; Eve wasn’t ’t tempted by a biting midge, after all. Which brings us to a key reason why snakess would hurt Hawaii’s bottom line: the fear facctor. Imagine tourists hiking Hana’s bamboo o forest trail, only to encounter a python coiled d menacingly around an overhanging branch. h. Imagine someone’s dog—or worse, keiki—being swallowed by a creeping connstrictor. How quickly would we go from America’s favorite vacation destination n to another forgotten backwater, fraught with peril? “Many people are fearful of snakes,” says Duvall. “If you were to come here and d have a bad interaction with a snake, you’re likely not to come back again and to go o home and tell everyone, ‘Wow, you don’t want to go there. It’s dangerous.’ It would d change the perception very quickly. I think it would change the way Hawaii wass perceived; we would be a paradise lost.” The brown tree snake alone could cost the state more than $400 million annnually, according to a University of Hawaii study. The USDA National Wildlife Research Center places the number at a staggering $1.7 billion, which certainly puts a few ag inspectors’ salaries in perspective. “I think it’s an essential government function to protect people and their way of life,” says Duvall. “Everyone talks about government waste and how we don’t need it, but this is an instance where it’s really playing a vital role.” Pressed to put a number on the odds of snakes taking hold here in the next decade, Duvall says it’s “very low... maybe five percent.” He credits his optimism

islandto “increased public awareness” and the work of groups like the various island based invasive species committees. Yet, he adds, “I’m pessimistic about the time lag between when we identify an issue and when the bureaucracy can find funding and respond.” St. Patrick won’t be there to save us, either. But when you asses the issue—and listen to the people who’ve studied it—you’ll take any excuse to have a drink. ■

It is doing well.” The evening I visited Tommy Bahama, the Kunia tomatoes had been switched to Hamakua, and the Kauai prawns were now coming from Big Island. Clearly, they were dedicated to making the menu work. Tommy Bahama is located in the Shops at Wailea. Though you can dine in their beautiful dining room, newly decked out in classic Tommy Bahama plantation luxury chic aesthetic, I recommend hanging out on the deck, al fresco. There, you’re surrounded by palm tree heads at eye level, the summer breeze is welcoming and the live music is fantastic. Starting with cocktails is a must. They have an exquisitely prepared menu of drinks, ranging from artisanal martinis and cocktails to a whole list of rum tropicals like you’ve never seen before. Their wine list will do the trick, too. The farm to table menu is a localvore’s dream. The idea behind supporting the

He serves them i with gorgeous, glory-on-the-plate prese presentations. “I have been in the islands island for over 40 years,” Baysa said. “The ingredients I have to w here are the main inspiwork with ration. ration I let them speak for themselves. I really try to feature their avors and let that come through flavors, in the dishes.” dishes Baysa added that he can’t take all the credit; his sous chef, Brandon Shim, is a local boy with great ideas, too. I started with Baysa’s interpretation of Tomato Caprese. A sliced hamakua tomato stands upright, dissected by clouds of Surfing Goat Dairy goat cheese. It’s then topped by house pickled onion and a basil sprig, with a pretty pool of li hing mui dressing and balsamic reduction swirled together next to it on the plate. Eating it requires considerable deconstruction and dredging, but the fabulous flavors make the effort well worth it. The appetizer menu overflows with enticing summer produce. In the ahi tataki salad, the julienne daikon and wakame play on equal levels with the seared ahi. But it’s important to first saturate the whole business with spicy ponzu: my server helpfully demonstrated this for me. While the earth and sea vegetables soak in the sauce, grab bites with chopsticks that twist the fish and garnish together into one complementary, juicy crunch. The pulled pork crostini is another filling appetizer. Here, a variety of sweet and

savory flavors mingle on a small sm mall slab of sourdough toast. The tomato toma ato marmalade was surprisingly well balanced against the mango salsa and an jalepeno, and was such a treat for me. m I love tomato, but have never tried it i as a jam before. If you lean in and sniff sn , the gruyere messes with you, but the th enticing aroma of the pulled pork and the mango barbecue sauce a draws you back in. Ono is the raw fish in the poisson crustyle of creviche served on the Farm to Table menu. Dark purple housemaid m Molokai sweet potato chips accompany the raw fish salad, adding color as well as providing an edible utensil for devouring the citrusy, coconuty, milky fish with cucumber and red bell pepper. Baysa stayed true to the traditional French preparation with the tomato bisque, brewing it with the aromatics of the mirepoix and rendered bacon. Sometimes soup can be overlooked, but I couldn’t stop scooping this one, and devoured it quickly. The warm flavors will meld over your tongue in herbal genius. The mahi mahi is a delicate entree, and shows its prowess in the silky and flakey sauteed fish, and in the addicting Hana ginger sauce. Upcountry bak choy and meaty Hamakua mushrooms are justified sides, made more magnificent with ginger sauce. If red meat is more to your liking, Tommy Bahama is very proud of the fact that all of its beef comes from the Maui Cattle Company. This includes the burgers available at lunch as well as the short rib and petite filet. “We did all the tastings, and the Maui Cattle Company Beef over-performs other gourmet brands like Snake River in terms of flavor,” says Baysa. I sampled the short rib that shows up at the table as a generous chunk of braised beef with a large bone extending skyward and bathed in incredible aromas of Chinese five spice and a port wine reduction. It’s a manly looking entree, so much so that the men at both tables on either side of me asked, “What is that dish?” and then promptly ordered it. Continued on page 15

The Wandering Wino Discoveries of a sophisticated and socially y accepted alcoholic BY JASON CASTLE

am holding a restaurant wine list yet again. This time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with a birthday troop at snazzy Capische? (their question mark, not mine) in the Hotel Wailea. Considering the cuisine of the restaurant it only makes sense to go Italian for the wine selections. Venetian Pinot Grigio and Tuscan Chianti immediately pop off the wine list and scream to be ordered. I suppose it would be a slam dunk to pick such staples, but I find it to be a bit, well, lame. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough boring olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pinot Grigio for one lifetime. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather taste the sexier side of Italian wine. I spot a Villa Sparina, Gavi, Piedmont, Italy 2009 on the list and pull the trigger. People should consume this white wine a lot more often in Hawaii. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made with the grape cortese and tastes like a funky Sauvignon Blanc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lemony-orange goodness,â&#x20AC;? is the description authored by the birthday girl.

I tapped out before I tried their surf and turf: a Maui-raised filet and Big Island prawns, served with Pohole fern and grilled Maui onion cream. Dessert was a triumphant finale. I thought I was full, but reserved just enough space to try the Maui Pineapple Creme Brulee. Served in a cross section of pineapple so the exterior is rind, the cool interior creme was amazingly full of pineapple and pineapple flavor. Baysa admits he had to tinker with that recipe to get the pineapple to gel, but he certainly had it all worked out. The caramelized sugar over the top that concealed the luscious dairy underneath was flawless to the last bite. Two simple but perfect Kula strawberries dipped in dark chocolate were incredible as well. In fact, the strawberry was the star of the show: understated, barely dressed but unparalleled. Aspaas added that ultimately Tommy Bahama would love to offer more regional menu items, and keep these on rotation with their core menu. The Palm Desert restaurant is offering a retro 1970s menu, and the Las Vegas restaurant is promoting a taco and margarita menu for summer. For now, their commitment and dedication to offering their Maui farm to table menu is a must try on your Wailea dining checklist.

GROWN HERE NOT FLOWN HERE BY JEN RUSSO

t used to be that strawberries sucked on Maui. They were imported from California and would arrive expensive and bruised, partially unripe and sour. Now Kula has become synonymous with strawberries on Maui, partially due to Chauncy Monden and Kula Country Farms, where he produces this year-round crop. Monden was a grad of University of Hawaii at Manoa, and could

Straight outta Kula, yo!

have chosen a fast-track job in finance, but turned to farming instead. In 1998, when his father retired, he took over the family farm as a fourth-generation farmer who picked up his first hoe at age five. Monden and his wife, Teena, run Kula Country Farms. They made a conscientious

choice to raise their children in the country, enthused by a love for Mauiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land. Their vision transcends their 55 acres of juicy, sweet strawberries, onions and cabbages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the benefits of being a farmer,â&#x20AC;? Monden says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the gratification you feel when you produce a consistent product. But we farm also to ensure that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose agriculture, our farming legacy.â&#x20AC;? Aside from strawberries, the Mondens grow green beans, Maui Kula Onion (sweet onions), zucchini and broccoli.

Fire In The Belly The Help is good, but not great BY BARRY WURST II The Help

â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;

Rated PG13/146 min

ne of the most anticipated films of the (late) summer that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a 3-D comic book sequel, prequel or remake is the adaptation of Kathryn Stockettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 bestselling novel of the same name. Fans of the book can nitpick over how faithful the film is or isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (my verdict: beats me, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read the book and am too busy finally diving into The Hunger Games). Strictly from a film stand point, the movie of The Help is less than great but has enough good performances and strong scenes to recommend it. A more seasoned director, tighter screenplay and a better handle on tonal shifts could have made this truly special. As is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crowd-pleaser and will give you a good cry. Emma Stone stars as Skeeter, a newspaper writer living in Mississippi during the early days of the Civil Rights movement, who is troubled by the casual racism she see all around her. She devises a highly illegal plan to interview the African-American servants working for cruel white employers and record

their testimonies into a tell-all book. After cret ingredient in a slice of chocolate pie. some hesitation, the long suffering Aibileen Octavia Spencerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as the (Viola Davis) comes forward, revealing a mulsassy Minny is sometimes too broad and aptitude of secrets and abuses and encourages proaches caricature but Davis is typically exothers to participate. ceptional and has the most powerful scenes. The film is too long and tries to cram a 451Also terrific are an unrecognizable Jessica page book and all of its major and minor charChastain and Bryce Dallas Howard, chillingly acters into a single film. Many side characters, like the ones played by Sissy Spacek and Cicely Tyson, make lasting impressions but are on screen too briefly to fully flesh out their roles. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a romantic subplot that goes nowhere and adds a needless 15 minutes to an already plump 146-minute running time. Also, the movie is a total fantasy, depicting a form of justice that never took place during a painful period of U.S. history. While well intentioned and likely to introduce many young viewers to the I asked you to pull my finger, not my hand. realities of the period, it inevitably feels white-washed and sanitized for a mainstream audience. Fried Green Tomatoes remains the gold standard for embodying a smiling, socially accepted bigot. this genre of Southern Equality Period Piece. Stone initially seems miscast, too modern For all the dramatic turns in the last half, what and out of her league with these more seamost will remember about this movie is the sesoned actresses but she grew on me. Skee-

ter is more of a plot device than a plausible character and a clichĂŠ in these types of movies. As usual, even though the main characters are black, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically a plucky white crusader who inspires the oppressed to rise up against bigotry. Unlike A Time to Kill, where Matthew McConaugheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character and performance were well measured against Samuel L. Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the contrivance of Skeeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivations and the creation of her book are both historical wish fulfillment and utter Hollywood hokum. Still, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m recommending the film for the fine work of the actors, particularly Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knockout final scene with Howard. Chastainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is a joy- her character seems dim at first but tenderly reveals layers of pain and loneliness. Even as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re early into the 21st century, the need for films that promote interracial friendships and people standing up to oppression and racism is still immediate. The Help is uneven but has real fire in its belly. â&#x2013; barry@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1508f

This Friday (Aug. 12) at Stella Blues Cafe (of course!), celebrate the psychedelic life of the right-middle-fingerless jam band progenitor, Jerry Garcia (it’s the anniversary of his Aug. 9 1995 passing and Aug. 12 funeral), with an evening of Grateful Dead music. Rare Dead recordings will be played (8-8:30pm, 9:30-9:45pm and 10:45-11:15pm) as interludes to sets by The Maui Pranksters (playing electric covers 8:30-9:30pm) and the Haiku Hillbillys (acoustic covers 9:45-10:45pm, and electric covers 11:15pm-1am). It’s a Jerry would go! free show, so your stash can bear to buy extra libations that will keep you loose until the wee hours roll away the dew. (PS: Look, I know “roll[ing] away the dew” is in reference to Ben Franklin’s big bell-casting technology, but you dig what I’m trying to get at, right?) [874-3779; stellablues.com]

he reason no one’s trying to free Willzyx (that’s a South Park reference—not a typo— in case you’re confused) from the aquarium is because Maui County law bans the display of captive cetaceans (i.e. whales, dolphins and porpoises). Passed in 2002, our county was the 17th place in the country to enact such a ban, “which means that Maui County’s dolphins will always live wild and free,” says Greg Kaufman, president and founder of the Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF). “[H]onoring and celebrating the populations of wild dolphins living in the nearshore waters of the three islands of Maui County,” says Kaufman (dolphins living elsewhere can take a hike... kidding!) this weekend the PWF hosts their annual Wild Dolphin Days festivities. The fun begins at Keawakapu beach on Saturday (Aug. 13) with the Wild Dolphin Sand Sculpture Contest, open to individual and group participants of any age. There’s no entry fee, every participant receives a dolphin poster and free dolphin guide, and prizes will be awarded in categories including Most Creative Entry and Funniest Entry. During the judging (by councilmember Don Couch, KAOI radio personality Cindy Paulos and local fine artist Guy Junker—who happens to be responsible for the venerable Eh Brah! guy illustration, among other MauiTime mainstays), a PWF marine naturalist will lecture about wild dolphins and conduct activities. Later that evening (6-7:30pm), another free talk will be held at the Pacific Whale Foundation’s Discovery Center (in the lower level of the Maalaea Harbor Shops complex), sharing the latest findings about wild spinner, bottlenose and spotted dolphins found within our waters. If after all that you’re still eager for more, call 249-8811 and try to snag one of just 20 spots aboard the Wild Dolphin Photo Safari with PWF’s chief scientist, Dr. Daniela Maldini (Sunday, Aug. 14, 6:30-10:30am; $99.95).

olynesian drumming’s visceral infectiousness is unlike anything else. But if you’re a tetanus-wrought tin woman like me—a heartfelt admiration of rhythm notwithstanding—you’re probably still amazed by Polynesian dancers who can shimmy and shake to said drums so facilely. This weekend, witness some of the best Tahitian drummers and dancers compete in the 14th annual Heiva I Maui, otherwise known as Maui’s Tahiti Fete. (Note: Tahiti is the largest isle in French Polynesia—which I think should be renamed Parisian Polynesia, for alliteration’s sake—and “fete” is a French word meaning “festival.”) Hosted each year by local promoter Lolita Eugenio, her ‘ohana and her association, the competition takes place Saturday (Aug. 13) from 10am-4pm. Bookending the main event are concerts by Super Dub Tribe on Friday (Aug. 12), and a special Saturday night (Aug. 13) concert by Uncle Richard Hoopii (7pm) and Mele Pono (8-9pm). And after 9pm that night, the crowd can participate in the filming of three music videos by Mele Pono and Uncle Richard, due for release later this year.

10pm. Rarely granting interviews, Nickatinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned an enigmatic rep and has been heralded for his quick wit. One fun fact that digs back to the beginning of Nickatinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional career is that his earliest effort The New Jim Jones (a 1993 indie record, then under his nom de plume Dre Dog) was re-released in 2006 without its original, controversial crucifixion cover imagery. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title might reference the rapper Jim Jones, think again. See, Jones the rapper didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t debut until 2004 (with On My Way To Church) and Jim Jones the cult leader (who in 1978 coerced more than 900 of his followers to commit suicide in Jonestown, Guyana) is way more famous anyway. With such a provocative start, it was no holds barred for Nickatina there on out. His followups include I Hate You With A Passion (1995), Tears of Clown (1999) and Conversations with a Devil: Cocaine Raps, Volume 3 (2003); and his latest, Kahn! The Me Generation hits record store shelves last April. [874-8199; hardrockcafe.com / luckymanhawaii.com]

Beginning the week on Thursdays (i.e. the alt. weekly world’s Monday) is newly added singer/guitarist Jeff New (4-8pm) followed by reggae-rocker mainstays Rampage (9pm-close). On Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays, Rick Glencross plays the early sets, with Wednesdays manned by Junior Lacuesta. This week’s late night live music includes Dat Guyz on Friday night, and the aforementioned Jah Residentz concert on Saturday. Plus, you can take the stage yourself with karaoke on Sunday and Monday nights and open mic every Wednesday. [891-8010]

JOE JACKSON I’m The Man (A&M Records 1979) Joe Jackson made this album right after his smash-hit debut album Look Sharp! and shortly before taking on more exotic genres in Beat Crazy. Like many second albums, this one has been terribly neglected, which is too bad. Jackson is that much-needed link between snarky (and at times obnoxious) English punk rockers and the smoother, but somewhat prissy, New Wavers. The best part about I’m The Man is the frenetic energy. There is an urgency in the distorted guitar, hyperactive bass lines, and crisp snare drums smashing through the entire album. On top of this fast-paced music, the songs introduce us to a very likable character. Jackson portrays himself as a working-class young man who is without a doubt driven. The opening song, “On Your Radio” is a big I-told-you-so to all of those who doubted him in the past (“exfriends, ex-lovers and enemies”). In “Don’t Want To Be Like That” he proves to be jealous of his privileged counter parts. (“Now the cocaine club says welcome/You’re in college now not school/But I’m sorry to say that I’m going out to work/While you’re going to the swimming pool”). His contempt for middle-class materialism becomes painfully apparent in “Geraldine and John.” Jackson creates a world revolving around pay checks, moving up in life, and questioning authority. I’m The Man is for that devoted punk-loving troublemaker who is just beginning to wonder what other music is out there. -Ben Lowenthal

The Yardbirds are more than a Rock band... they are an institution... which, in the brief period from 1963 to 1968, made an indelible mark on the “Shapes of Things” to come. To the casual music fan, the Yardbirds are best known as the band that honed the skills of future “guitar gods” Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page; and for their slew of chart hits, including “For Your Love,” “Heart Full of Soul”, “I’m A Man”, and “Over Under Sideways Down”. This event is a fundraiser for the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association.

’ve clocked many days in ‘Iao Valley, but the scorched day in question shot vapors of decocting detritus up over the ridges’ edges like rapids upended. Gorgeous but foreboding, everything and nothing was right. Maybe it was the heat (which I guess really wasn’t so bad, for August, but it was hotter than it’d been in awhile so I humored the baked road enough to rename it for a day: Fata Morgana). So though already in the Promised Land, I wandered “de roads of creation” praying to Bobs Marley and Dobbs. And albeit being clam-happy, I was as anxious as a poor kid waking-up to Christmas, sanguine despite having precious little to hope for. But then, a miracle! And one better than Pollyanna’s mission-barrel crutches: the fuel-injected apparition of a strange, sage man. Umber bare feet, terracotta T-shirt and the precise mannerisms of my mother’s brother salved with my father’s friend’s round tone. I knew this wild-haired man like an uncle–but I did not. Not at all. He was like a quilted dreamtime stranger pieced of people I knew well enough to plagiarize in REM. Yet he was there, standing in front of me, livid and lecturing. At least, I think he was. Because from the first moment I saw him, I began to suspect I’d conjured him just to tell me a few things I needed to hear and learn. But that’s crazy, even for the likes of me. See, I’ve long cleaved to the mangled, misappropriated adage that only crazy people claim they aren’t. So in desperation I’ve made it my mantra, “Yeah! I’m batshit!” in the hope that it might not be true (though it is). However, when it comes to reverse psychology, I worry about self-fulfilling prophecies; and when talking to this man I was exhausted from exercising the pains of Frost’s filled cup, “up to the brim and even above the brim.” The closest he ever came to facing me was perpendicularly. He would not tell me his name. Pleasantries were replaced with cryptic warnings to not blab about our encounter from my soapboxes (artful ambiguity notwithstanding, I hope). When the conversation crested and plunged again to strike bone, a sudden redness inked his sclera and he made his verbal advance. “It’s people like you who think you can tell us guys about [this or that]!” he croaked. People like me? What kind of people am I? Who’s you guys? I don’t think I

tell anyone about [this or that]. “It’s people like you who think you know everything about [this or that]!” he crowed. I don’t think I know anything about [this or that]. And whatever little I think I know isn’t mutually exclusive of what anyone else thinks they know. “Just love,” he said. Am I not loving? “Just love,” he said like a stone. OK. And all the meanwhile he schooled me. He schooled me like a truant trapped in a summer session of miseducation, “singing my life with his words.” Look, I pride myself in unabashed self-depreciation. (It’s my river MO, if you haven’t noticed.) But braddah cut deep where I needed letting, and I bled in ways I can’t bear to divulge here. So, dear readers, I hope me-and-this-man’s most superficial moment illustrates one of the ways I found myself wanting: “If you see a kid in line at the store,” he told me, “and the parents are telling him they can’t afford the thing he wants–buy it for him. Give him quarters for the gumball machine.” Oh, yes. Gumball machines are my favorite, I said. If I see keiki looking longing, I’ll stick the quarters in the slots and walk away. “Don’t do that!” he chided my socalled Samaritan sly. “You’re placing him in a moral dilemma where he must assume and steal to get what he wants! Put the money in his hand and he can instead choose to save or spend.” Ouch. OK. A few days later I met Mr. Blue. He’s a fan (if I can dare such boastful words) who’s been trying to give me a rather thoughtful “artifact” for sometime now, and I finally made some time. In the course of our long talk, Mr. Blue stitched up those aforementioned wounds-I-won’t-speak-of with horribly kind words that would rot me to repeat; and in so doing he shared his Matrixesque philosophy. He professed that he was a figment of my imagination–and I a figment of his. Merrily, merrily and whatnot. And to quote The Universe Is A Dream, a book I’m reading by his suggestion, “You are a mind lost in a dream of duality—a dream that [was] dreamt in opposition to nonduality.” But that’s crazy, even for the likes of me. Still, I remembered the valley sage and thought, OK. ■

Sign Language BY CAERIEL CRESTIN LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Don’t let your ego get too inflated by all the cheerful happy birthday wishes you got on Facebook. They’re relatively meaningless. I read an article about a writer who celebrated three Facebook birthdays in a month, to see how many people would notice, and how many would simply automatically send him a birthday wish all three times. Almost no one took note, and many sent him nearly identical messages each time. So much of what comes your way these days is pretty devoid of any real sentiment or meaning—including the negative stuff. Remembering that, and not taking any of it personally, will go a long way towards making you a happier person this week.

you need to evolve is more like a business than a bird. Start thinking outside the box, now—before the box disappears.

QUIZunderstood ANSWERS ...to questions on page 7

1. C. An F3F biplane carrier fighter that dated to the late 1930s.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

Your mantra this week is very simple: “This too, shall pass.” Change, of course, is the essence of life. That can be bewildering, but when things suck, it’s also comforting. Knowing that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, even if you can’t see (or on some level, even believe) it should help you carry on. In the meantime, if you could use help coping with your situation right now, ask for it. Sure, these are hard times for everyone, but many angelic people actually take comfort in helping others. Let them help you, please.

2. E. All of the above 3. A. True

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

It’s so easy for people to buy into the whole “what s/he doesn’t know can’t hurt,” philosophy, particular when it pertains to something they’d rather keep secret. They might even be right, assuming two things: 1.This thing is definitely and permanently in the past, with no inconvenient ghosts that might come back to haunt both of you, and 2.You never, ever find out. Discovering someone’s secret, and the lies they used to keep it, can feel like a terrible betrayal, negatively compounding any horrible revelation. Before you, too, ascribe to this idea, be absolutely sure both conditions will be met. If they won’t, it’s better to come clean, right away. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

Sometimes, when you have a problem, you just have to suck it up, deal, and get the hell over it, because your problem is either not as big as you think it is, or not as bad as the ones you’d suddenly be subject to if you chose to address it. Do you really feel like adding to the heap of someone else’s troubles by bringing up this supposed quandary of yours? What are you going to do if they decide that you’re the problem, instead? No matter how that plays out, most scenarios end up with you in worse difficulty, and less happy. Figure out how to get past this on your own. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

So many of our social conventions are completely arbitrary and artificial. Why, for instance, is one particular finger (our middle one) so offensive? Only because we choose to interpret it that way. Refuting these whenever convenient is very liberating, and demonstrates just how powerless they really are without your complete cooperation. Allowing this stuff to have an effect on you is a choice. If you don’t want it to, it can’t bother you. Realizing that—and keeping it in mind—will have a magnificently potent effect on the sum total of your joy and serenity this week.

Although life so rarely resembles fairy tales, especially the “happily ever after” bits, fairy tale villains seem to crop up with surprising regularity. Wicked parents, vicious trolls (both on- and off-line), and conniving witches don’t just make appearances at Halloween but, in fact, all the time. It’s usually best to keep yourself out of their storylines, when possible, but occasionally there’s nothing for it but to step in, especially when you have a chance to spare an innocent some suffering. In those cases, you needn’t play the fairy tale hero (although some might view you as such, anyway). Just do what you can.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

Overreactions may simply be the name of the game this week. However, the worst thing you could do would be to point them out; that would just escalate this exaggerated molehill from bunny slope to double black diamond mountain; something dramatically more treacherous and difficult to navigate. Instead, you must simply try to keep a calm head and wait out the storm; it will pass…eventually. It may be tempting to throw caution to the winds (“If they can get pissed over nothing, damn it, so can I!”), but I’d strongly advise against it. Someone’s got to be the bigger person here—and that someone is you.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

Money complicates things, and in most of your relationships, it’s best to simply keep it out of the picture entirely. However, certain connections—particularly live-in, romantic ones—require, at some point, frank discussions about who’s going to pay for what, how money will be handled, and so on, in order to prevent drama and difficulty further down the line. These are not romantic things to talk about, nor particularly fun, but neglecting them will only cause problems (and get in the way of romance) later. Since this week is a good one for such a chat, go ahead and have it, if any of this mundane stuff is still sitting around unresolved.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)

While losing your job or your lover—or experiencing another setback—sucks, the worst thing you can do is become a depressed recluse because of it. The only way to move on from such crappy places is to shake them off as best you can, rally yourself, and get out there into the world, putting on the happiest face possible. Cultivate optimism like a rare, delicate, and precious orchid. That may be easier said than done, I know, but nevertheless that’s the intention you need to hold in your mind as you move on from here.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)

Giving someone the benefit of the doubt when they don’t deserve it can really get you into hot shit, Gemini. Thus I can understand why you’re tempted to call “Shenanigans!” on this one and see what happens. However, not granting the benefit of the doubt to someone who does deserve it is a truly douchebag move, one you’d have a hard time forgiving yourself for, later. Although admittedly a lousy pair of options, wouldn’t it still be better to get fooled or taken advantage of than to find yourself stomping all over someone who’s already down?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)

Bookstores are becoming a very rare thing; not only are people reading fewer books, but when shopping for them they often use online retailers and more and more frequently buy e-books rather than the paper kind. I think the only way for this endangered retail species to survive is to evolve—to provide an experience for their shoppers, since they almost certainly can’t match the prices and variety provided by their online competition. Those that fail to adapt to changing conditions will go as extinct as the dodo. Why mention this? Because evolution isn’t just something that happens in nature, and because the thing

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

One of my heroes, Dan Savage, came up with the term “monogamish” to describe couples who are mostly monogamous, but may have a loophole or two built into their relationship, probably in order to preserve its long-term viability. Making up new words, standards, and rules to suit your life, specifically, is something I heartily and cheerfully encourage, Cancer, since the ones handed down to you from whoever (generations past, society in general, etc) aren’t really doing you much good. Take a cue from Dan, and make some shit up that works for you and yours.
