Walter Ritte is elected. He is an extremist with no aloha and no regard for the law. He is a loud mouthed bully who intimidates to get his way. Yes, he was convicted of vandalism, has been booted out of meetings on Molokai for misbehavior and forced to resign from Planning Commission and Molokai Enterprise Community boards for not attending meetings.

DEBATING WALTER RITTE Sorry to see Walter Ritte running for Office of Hawaiian Affairs instead of the Molokai County Council seat where he can really do some good for all of us (Candidate!, June 28, 2012). When Walter Ritte runs on a platform that he says will “protect agricultural lands,� he means it, unlike all the liars who say it to get elected, then sell out immediately when A&B or Kamoulu Ranch [SP?] come requesting more development needing “urban� designation from the ag lands. It’s not only elected officials. Does the state land board or Maui Planning Commission ever see one piece of ag land worth protecting? Over the years only JoAnn Johnson, Wayne Nishiki and now maybe Elle Cochrane ever cared about protecting ag land. That leaves a lot of election-time liars over the years. Take that 170 acres between Puunene Avenue and Hana Highway for A&B’s “much needed� Maui Business Park. It was in productive sugar cane use for over 100 years–and then all of a sudden A&B came crawling in for a land-designation change to their friends on the county council. Those elected council members forgot about their protect ag land rants [made] at election time. I see even [Congressmember] Mazie [Hirono] is supporting “growing more of our food in Hawaii� under her new sustainability plan as she runs for [Senate] with all her union backing. But Mazie, you and all your friends in your good ol’ boy network need to actually protect agricultural lands to do that–like all those hundreds and hundreds of foodproducing acres you hacks just changed to urban in Honolulu. How about that?

HATES EH BRAH I am extremely disappointed on the accusations that are being made about the players at the kula tennis courts (Eh Brah, June 21). I can only assume that it is being addressed to us because we are the younger crew that plays there. We always arrive at a later time and are very polite to all the players at the court. The majority of the time, the courts are always full but we have no problem waiting. After an hour of waiting we do bring it to their attention that we would also like to play. I think it’s rude for the oldtimers not to have any consideration for others. Why aren’t they abiding by the rules? We enjoy playing tennis and we try to make it as much fun as possible. So if a little music and some laughs are of such annoyance, then I believe you have an issue with others being happy. So stop preaching like you make the rules. Being bossy and trying to make like you own the court is not gona keep us away. Thank you for giving us motivation to play again!

REALLY HATES OLD GUYS WHO SKATEBOARD From experience, I always tell people, “If you’re over 20, don’t start skating� (“Rebirth of the Cool,� May 24, 2012). I’m always encouraging people to do stuff, but skateboarding is not one of them. It’s not worth it. You WILL bust your ass, ankles, wrists, elbows, head, and shins. EVERYDAY! And you’ll never get better. Maybe after four years of practice, you’ll ride a wall or do an ollie, but so what? You’ll never grind a rail or air a pipe. So why break your hip/ wrist to pretend you’re pushing your limits? STAY OUT of the parks, at least. If you must try to skate over 20, remember the best trick to learn is how to successfully escape the board and land on your feet. It will make your skate career muuuuuch longer.

Tulsi Gabbard (she dropped her husband’s name Tamayo in 2011) is a fascinating candidate. She’s still in her very early 30s, and yet she’s held a couple elected offices, served with the Hawaii National Guard in Iraq (she’s a company commander now) and worked as a legislative aide to Senator Daniel Akaka. But as far as ideology goes, she’s something of a cipher. Her father is state Senator Mike Gabbard, one of the nastier gaybaiters in Hawaii politics. A number of his former aides and campaign officials now work for his daughter. Yet at the same time, the very liberal EMILY’s List political action committee has endorsed Gabbard. In the past, Gabbard herself has not been friendly toward homosexuality–in 2004, Honolulu Magazine quoted her as saying, “To try to act as if there is a difference between ‘civil unions’ and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii... As Democrats we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.” But lately she’s spoken of a “leftward journey” she’s making. How far to the left is not something that’s knowable.

Talk of the Island Club press release. “But the realization that this choice by the Navy to dump poisons into the marine environment is not only unnecessary, but also is costing Americans hundreds of green recycling jobs, makes this SINKEX program both an environmental and an economic insult.”
Highlights from SINKEX 2002
LANAI IS WORTH HOW MUCH?
NAVY GETS NO RESPECT Man, it’s tough to be the U.S. Navy these days. They haven’t won (much less fought in) anything remotely resembling a classic ship-on-ship engagement in nearly 70 years, which I just had the temerity to point out. They’re also catching hell from environmentalists over the number of marine mammals they say their training exercises over the next five years will injure or kill in Hawaii waters (see our June 28, 2012 cover story “Good Stewards of the Environment”). But even at a time when the service is trying to behave in an environmentally responsible manner, they get knocked upside the head. Right now, the Navy is planning to use 900,000 gallons of biofuel (it’s actually a 50/50 blend of petroleum and biofuel, but that’s beside the point) in its upcoming Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) fleet exercises. Because of the biofuel, the Navy is now referring to his ships as the “Great Great Green Fleet,” a play on President Theodore RoosFleet evelt’s imperialist Great White Fleet from evelt more than a century ago. “The Navy has been at the forefront of energy innovation throughout its history,” said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus in a June 13 Navy press release. “From sail to coal-fired steam to oil and nuclear powered submarines and carriers, we have sought and achieved technological advancement in how we power the fleet because it has made us better warfighters. The Great Green Fleet demonstration is a significant milestone in the Navy’s progress to greater energy security.” It sounds great, but that doesn’t mean the Sierra Club is pleased. Biofuel aside, they're pissed that the Navy will sink three old ships as part of RIMPAC (known as the Sinking Exercise or SINKEX) that the organization–represented by Earthjustice Earthjustice–recently filed suit against the Environmental Protection Agency (not the Navy), alleging that the federal agency is not enforcing the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act Act. “The ships are contaminated with toxic heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) based on documentation of known contaminants found in more than 100 ships previously sunk by the Navy over the past twelve years,” states a June 28 Sierra Club press release. “According to environmental groups, sinking–instead of recycling–these ships will send toxic chemicals into the marine environment and needlessly deprive[s] the U.S. ship recycling industry of both resources and jobs.” For the Navy’s part, they deny that the ships they sink during RIMPAC pose any threat to the marine environment. “The Navy said all the SINKEX vessels are prepared in accordance with a permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” reported the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on June 29. “Each ship ‘is put through a rigorous cleaning process,’ including the removal of PCBs, transformers and large capacitors, small capacitors to the greatest extent practical, trash, floatable materials and materials containing mercury or fluorocarbons, the service said.” Colby Self of the Basel Action Network Network, which is part of the Sierra Club lawsuit, isn’t buying it. “The hypocrisy of the Navy’s new ecological ‘Great Green Fleet’ demonstrating its ‘greenness’ by sinking ships containing globally banned pollutants off the coast of Hawaii is particularly ironic,” Self is quoted as saying in the Sierra
Don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of the Larry Ellison-just-boughtLanai story. story Not because of how much it reportedly cost Oracle co-founder Ellison (the sale price has not been disclosed) but because of how relatively inexpensive the island actually is. Think about this: Lanai is probably one of the largest privately-held islands out there. It spans about 88,900 acres, of which the vast majority–87,700 acres, according to the County of Maui–was Maui part of the Ellison sale. The remaining 1,200 acres are either in gov-
Piros who sent out a rather Director Ryan Piros, testy press release that day (“Maui County will not be providing any other response to media questions about the sale of Lana‘i going through today,” he wrote), we now have a rather precise breakdown of what the island is actually worth. Or not worth. Think about this: the county data shows that Ellison’s 87,700 acres have an assessed value of $325,004,500 ($191,607,500 in land, $133,397,000 in improvements). But the remaining 1,200 acres have an assessed value of nearly that much: $297,533,500 ($172,841,600 in land, $124,691,900 in improvements). Damn, that’s a lot of very valuable improvements packed into a very small space. What’s more, the two resorts Ellison now owns–Lana‘i Lana‘i at Manele Bay and The Lodge at Koele–aren’t Koele nearly as valuable as I’d anticipated. Of the two, Manele Bay is the swankier, valued at nearly $76 million (most of which

is in improvements). Koele is far cheaper, valued at just $19 million (nearly $16 million of which is improvements). Put simply, Ellison bought a couple sweet but small resorts and a whole lot of rocky landscape. Of course, Ellison’s bio (sailboat racer, four ex-wives and an aggressive business savvy) means he’s hardly a guy to just sit still and contemplate open space. Clearly, he’s got plans–buying Lanai is the beginning of something for Ellison, not the end. In case you were wondering, the County of Maui owns about 200 acres of Lanai, all valued at slightly less than $8 million. They range from a one-acre park on Fraser Ave. (valued at $100) to nearby Lana‘i Elementary ($2.6 million). The county also has “a number” of leases, according to Piros’ press release, which Mayor Alan Arakawa says “will be among many items of discussion with Mr. Larry Ellison.” ■ anthony@mauitime.com + @apignataro To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603n1

or the past two decades, Hana Arts has been providing arts and cultural programs to the remote, rural Hana and East Maui community. Due to a decision in a recent County Council budget meeting, they’re going to be $30,000 short next year. Hana Arts formed in 1991 to provide children’s arts and crafts classes. Over the years, their programs have expanded to include classes for children and adults in dance, music, crafts, yoga, drama and visual arts. They use Hana Public School facilities for their Creative Friday Youth Program, which is the only arts education program available to Hana children and runs every Friday throughout the school year. Last year, 155 children participated in Hana Arts programs. Their Community Theater group–made up of professionals, amateurs and students–puts on a show every year, and is the only theater group in East Maui. In efforts to bring artistic events and professional performances to the Hana community, Hana Arts has worked with organizations such as the Maui Arts and Cultural Center and the University of Hawaii. Hana Arts is an invaluable resource to the people of Hana, and without it, the community would not have access to arts and cultural happenings. In January, Hana Arts applied for a grant through the Department of Housing and Human Concerns (DHHC) for the 2012-2013 year. They have received this grant every year from 1998 until 2011. In 2011, the audit section of their application wasn’t completed on time, so their application was rejected. It’s a two-year grant, so they had to wait until this year to apply again. The $30,000 they asked for was slated to pay the salary of an executive director, who writes grants, works with donors and is in charge of the various programs that Hana Arts provides.
For the past two years, Robin Rayner (President of Hana Arts) has voluntarily filled this position on the assumption that their funding would be reinstated come the 2012-2013 year. Rayner said that County Council member Bob Carroll, East Maui representative, couldn’t guarantee that Hana Arts would receive their funding, but told her that he would do the best he could. But when Rayner called Carroll’s office on June 1 to see if the budget had been finalized, she found out that Hana Arts had been removed from the budget and would not receive any of the funds they requested. When I spoke to Rayner to find out what happened, she said she couldn’t get a straight answer from the county. Their funding had seemed secure, especially after Mayor Alan Arakawa listed Hana Arts as a “line item� on the budget. But once the budget left the mayor’s desk and went to County Council, Hana Arts disappeared from the document, which was apparently the decision of Councilmember Joseph Pontanilla, who chairs the budget committee (Pontanilla did not return repeated calls to his office). Why that happened, after more than a decade of consistently receiving the DHHC grant, remains a mystery. Carroll said he tried to get it reinstated on the budget, but couldn’t get the five votes he needed for it to pass. According to Carroll, the only way to get Hana Arts back on the budget was to take money away from another budget item, and no one wanted to do that. For Carroll, this is just a temporary hard time for Hana Arts. He’s confident that they will receive the DHHC grant next year. “Keep it going, keep the paperwork organized,� is what Carroll said the organization should do. “Even if you have to cut back this year, do what you can. Just keep the organization viable so that next year you can get the funding.� For Hana Arts, the loss of funding means hard times are ahead. “As of right now, there’s little we can do until next budget year,� says Hana Arts instructor Ian Cole, “In the meantime, the board is trying to do as much as we can to keep the program alive.� That includes a member drive, fundraisers and approaching new and current donors. Hana Arts will have to rely on these hardworking volunteers, teachers, administrators and donors more than ever. ■editor@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603n2

Paia Skate park just got better.

PAIA YOUTH CENTER GETS NEW SKATING STREET COURSE The only adult-monitored skate park on Maui just got an infusion of cash from the Frost Family Fund Fund. That means Street Course! The Paia Youth and Cultural Center (PYCC) has created a street course and spectator viewing area with the $15,000 donation, acquired through the Hawaii Community Foundation. Foundation “It’s a safe, fun, supportive, and supervised environment open to the public where adults and youth coming from a broad demographic are brought together to focus on a healthy, constructive creative outlet that builds esteem, camaraderie and individual expression,� says Susun White White, Executive Director for the youth center. “It’s one of the few skate parks across the country that has a built-in
life skills program for youth.� The design of the course was a collaboration between PYCC youth, members of the SkateOps life skills program program, the local skateboard community as well as those who actually constructed the skate surface. The construction process was a combination of hard working volunteers, some local labor as well as the tireless work of experienced skatepark builders Sky Thompson and Jesse McDowell. McDowell The initial design of the park began in 1996, with the park opening for skating in 2003. Over the years many PYCC youth members and community volunteers have been involved in the construction of the park. Funding came from all aspects of the community, including Maui County, foundations and private donations. The generous and timely donation from the Frost Family Fund enabled the PYCC to com-
plete the park just in time for summer. Funds from the grant were used for construction supplies, concrete, materials for the spectator pavilion and to pay for some of the labor. The park also hosts events on a regular basis. These include musical acts, bands, BBQ style food, skate jams and contests. “There hasn’t been a grand opening event yet, but there will be one at a date TBA shortly,� says White. “The finishing touches are currently being put on the facility, and the event is being planned.� The PYCC does not offer structured, scheduled skating lessons, but the combination of staffing, enthusiastic and supportive youth members as well as Skate-Ops members create an friendly atmosphere that’s conducive to learning. “Everyone helps each other out,� says White. The skatepark is open Tues-Wed, 3-7pm and Thurs-Sat, 3-9pm.
STATE SHUTS DOWN KANEMITSU BAKERY If you’ve ever done the late night run to the Kanemitsu Bakery for hot, fresh bread you might be devastated by the Department of Health’s Health recent shutting down of the establishment. Back in March, the bakery was hit with a $90,000 penalty for unsanitary conditions, which owner George Kanemitsu had been appealing. But a June 20 inspection revealed serious problems. The Maui News reported on June 28 that after state health officials met with Kanemitsu on June 25, they shut the place down until he could fix the violations they found. The bakery has been operating on Molokai for more than 75 years and has quite a following with locals and visitors. According to the News, on June 15 the
Oh, rats! Kanemitsu's closed!
DOH received an anonymous complaint alleging that “insects and foreign substances� were found in rolls that had been bought at the Kanemitsu Bakery. During their followup inspection, DOH inspectors found “rodents, no water available at the rinse compartment of the sink, unclean food preparation surfaces, no soap and hand towels at hand washing sinks and general unsanitary conditions.� The DOH is reportedly working closely with Kanemitsu on fixing the problems. But the restaurant next door to the bakery, which is located at 79 Ala Malama Street in Kaunakakai, will stay open because, according to The Maui News, it uses a separate kitchen that doesn’t have any of the health violations associated with the bakery. ■jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603n3

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPARD
MORE TENNESSEE SUPER-BREEDERS Update: Last week’s News of the Weird gave serial impregnator Desmond Hatchett, of Knoxville, Tenn., too much credit. It’s true that he has fathered at least 24 kids by at least 11 different women (and has no hope of meeting child-support obligations), but he is hardly Tennessee’s most prolific. A June summary by the Daily Mail of London (citing WMC-TV and WREG-TV in Memphis) revealed that Terry Turnage of Memphis has 23 children by 17 different women, and Richard M. Colbert (also from Memphis) has 25 with 18 women. Courts have ordered the men to pay the various mothers monthly support ranging from $259 to $309, but one woman said the most she had ever seen from Turnage was $9.
CUTTING LAWSUIT Debbie Stevens, 47, filed a claim before the New York Human Rights commission in April alleging that she was fired in November by Ms. Jackie Brucia, a controller of the Atlantic Automotive Group of West Islip, N.Y., after Stevens failed to recover quickly enough from major surgery in August. Stevens had donated a kidney to Brucia, who apparently could not understand why Stevens was still in pain by Sept. 6 so that she needed more time off. (Actually, since Brucia and Stevens were not perfect matches, Brucia had Stevens donate to a woman ahead of Brucia on the waiting list, which created an opening for Brucia. Brucia’s husband told a New York Post reporter in April that Stevens’ claims were “far from the truth,” but would not elaborate.)
IS THE DEATH PENALTY AN OPTION? In April, a jury in Charlotte, N.C., convicted Charles Hinton, 47, for a break-in at the Levine Children’s Hospital in 2010, where he had been charged with stealing 10 video gaming systems that sick children relied on for entertainment while they received cancer treatment.
THIS IS CHARITY?! A CNN investigation revealed in May that the Disabled Veterans National Foundation had collected almost $56 million in donations over four years but given nearly all of it to two direct-mail fundraising companies. CNN was able to locate a small veterans charity in Birmingham, Ala., that received help, but mainly in the form of 2,600 bags of cough drops, 2,200 bottles of sanitizers, 11,520 bags of coconut M&Ms and 700 pairs of Navy dress shoes. Another, in Prescott, Ariz., received hundreds of chef’s coats and aprons, cans of acrylic paint and a needlepoint design pillowcase. Said the manager of the Birmingham charity, “I ask myself what the heck are these people doing.”

OOPS! Andrea Amanatides suffered a boo-boo in May while being booked to begin a sixmonth jail sentence in Albany, N.Y., for a probation violation. As she was being placed in a holding cell, a cache of drugs fell onto the floor. Deputies soon figured out that a condom Amanatides had placed into a bodily orifice had burst. The final inventory: 26 Oxycontins, 10 Ambiens, 50 Valiums, 37 Adderalls, plus 133 more prescription pills and four baggies containing heroin. The sequence was captured on surveillance video.
TIME TO GET A NEW ATTORNEY Seattle attorney Andrew Basiago told Huffington Post in April that he “time-traveled” eight times as a child as part of the secret Project Pegasus staged by the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Another lawyer, Alfred Webre, recently explained, matter-of-factly, to a seminar audience in Vancouver, British Columbia, that teleportation is an “inexpensive, environmentally friendly means of transportation” and was used most recently by then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld “to transport troops to battle.” Basiago said, in a flourish of detail, that he was at Ford’s Theater the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated but did not witness it, and said that twice, he ran into himself while back in the past.
THIS IS A JOKE, RIGHT? In testimony at an extortion trial in New York City in June, Anthony Russo (alleged Colombo family associate) told prosecutors that a mob war was narrowly averted after another Colombo hand learned that a new Staten Island pizza parlor (run by an alleged Bonanno associate) featured pies that suspiciously resembled those of the top-rated L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn, which has Colombo ties. Representatives of the families had a “sit-down” (at a neutral site–a Panera Bread restaurant) and worked out a payment plan to satisfy L&B.
THIS WEEK IN POOPER SCOOPER DUELS Seattle police reported that a woman had been walking her dog in Plymouth Pillars Park at about 2 a.m. on May 10 and allegedly making noise that disturbed another man. Both were carrying pooper scoopers, and it is unclear which of the two started it, but the woman claimed the man jousted his toward her off and on in a “30-minute” duel, as she used hers to block his assaults. Police said a search failed to turn up suspects. ■ chuck@mauitime.com To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603n4

o the Lahaina surf-rat who drives around in a white SUV with surfboards on top and a bunch of crap inside: if you steal a pony keg from someone’s house, don’t think that you can go back to the brewery and get the deposit back if you don’t know the name of the person who rented it. Especially when you go to return it to the actual person who brought it to the party in the first place. For two days, you have tried to return this for a deposit that isn’t yours. You didn’t think they might not recognize the tap handle? We know who you are. If you’re that hard up, maybe beer is not what you should be drinking. As a surfer myself, I’d like to ask where’s the aloha when you steal other people’s property on other people’s property on your way up to the bay? If your only gig is as a small-time grifter, then go home. Otherwise, it’s look over your shoulder time‌ â–

Our Plastic Problem One researcher’s experiences documenting the Western Pacific Garbage Patch Cynthia Matzke
T
he development of a new manmade plastic called Parkesine won the bronze medal in The Great London Exposition in 1862. Since then, scientists have created more plastics at an ever-increasing pace. It’s no wonder that more than a hundred types of plastics are littering our oceans and gathering into great garbage patches and swirls. Giant gyres of garbage floating beneath the surface, undetectable by satellite images, are quietly choking fish while altering the the ocean's ecology. In May an expedition of paying scientists, educators, and environmental activists left Majuro in Kwajalein aboard Pangea’s Sea Dragon heading for the Western Pacific Garbage Patch (WPGP) and, eventually, Tokyo. From there, a new crew will join the boat for a return trip to Maui. The journey is a collaboration between Algalita Marine Research Institute, 5 Gyres Institute and Pangea Exploration, all of which want people to see the extent of ocean pollution. Trilogy Excursion’s own Cynthia Matzke joined the crew to gain insight and information on the severity of the plastic pollution and immediately share findings in Japan, Korea and Hawaii. “I brought three cameras with housings and am ready to splash in and to document it–in photos and video–to bring the images and message back to land,” says Matzke. “The point is to move peoples’ hearts, to move away from plastics and our disposable lifestyle. The five gyres cannot be magically cleaned up with a giant aqua-Hoover as one might imagine. It’s unfortunately too late for that end-of-pipe dream. Plastic is far more formidable than we might imagine. It doesn’t bob around at the surface in an orderly fashion. It’s ever-shrinking bits release toxins and grow algae to become deadly fish nibblets. It permeates the water column like confetti sprinkling a Doomsday parade.” The Pangea’s Sea Dragon is a pay-for-play kind of ocean exploration, booking teams of
“journalists, marine biologists, filmmakers, divers, photographers, educators, sailors, anthropologists, conservationists and bloggers” on their trips that include meals and gear. They are currently recruiting their next trip to Kiribati for about $5,000 per passenger. Researchers aboard the Sea Dragon’s Garbage Patch crossing were concerned with four things: how fast the plastics are spinning in the gyre; the rate in which it is breaking down; the possibility that invasive species are traveling aboard the debris; and how much marine life actually lives in the gyre. Matzke says samples were taken in a handful of ways, a slow quantified manta trawl every 50 miles, a fast trawl and via a scoop while sailing. Only rarely did they stop to pick up debris. “If we tried to stop every time we saw sizable chunks to gather them, we would still be out there,” she said. “You learn to pick your trash wisely in the gyre. I was able to get in the water only one time: to film the initial find of our first net ball and see who and what was swimming around under and with it. There were a couple larger fish (probably mahi) that bolted as soon as I splashed in. Other fish such as rainbow runners, chubs and sergeant majors were also swimming with the net ball. “Creatures like that don’t belong in the pelagic zone, and it is actually the hitch hiking critters that has me even more concerned for Hawaii than the debris itself,” she continued. “Our fragile ecosystem is unique in that 25 percent of fish species here are endemic. That makes us highly vulnerable to invasive species. We also found small and tiny organism at home on the debris, from frog fish to firey bristle worms and barnacles. Many other microscopic organisms were present as well– too many creatures to name.” Matzke attended the Symposium on Plastic Pollution in the Marine Environment at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. There, scientists, students, citizens and even plastic producers came together over the issue. She said
The crew aboard the Sea Dragon
an interesting discussion was started between a Japanese plastics industry executive who stated that that most of the trash littering the beaches on a normal basis (not including the tsunami debris) was from other countries that washed up there, and that Japan dealt efficiently with all of its debris. He was quickly but very politely countered by an older local woman who cleans up beaches regularly in her seaside village several hours away. She stated that much of the plastic debris that washes up there comes from Japan. “I will say that where the world has a plastic problem, Japan and other parts of Asia seem to have an addiction,” says Matzke. “But incredibly, there was no trash littering the streets in Japan, and I saw people making every effort to deal with their trash, even though trash cans in public places were not easy to find. It costs money to throw your trash away there–a lesson we learned fast as we arrived on the docks in Japan with debris we had found at sea and discovered it would cost us dearly to dispose of it.” On June 1, the Sea Dragon began its return to Hawaii with a new crew. The ship is expected to make land fall in Maui this week. The steelhulled, 72-foot vessel sailed an eastern route to venture through and record tsunami debris. From the ship’s blog at the Algalita Institute website, Katie Transue posted a week ago about a small skiff lost 1500 miles of the coast of Japan at 29°11.9 North-170°35.2 East: “We’ve found a boat presumably ripped from its mooring when the wave hit. Everyday now, we’re spotting something—a spare tire from a light truck, a piece of traditional Japanese flooring, and several other objects that may or may not be from the tsunami,” Transue wrote. “We dive on her to survey what we can’t see beneath. In the water, there is little growth on the boat—just a few barnacles, maybe five or so. Tucked in the inside are probably 50 or 60 fish; Triggers, Rainbow Runners and some species that look clearly out of place—tropical coral dwelling fish. As
Plastic Pollution we approach they scatter, then return. What’s now a wreck of a boat has become a floating reef system for this crowd.” To help, the 5 Gyres Institute is asking people to make the plastic promise, reducing your plastic use in the following five ways: bring your own water bottle, mug, utensils and reusable bag; say ‘No’ to plastic straws; buy what’s in the least amount of plastic packaging; pick up five pieces of plastic litter; and ask family, businesses and co-workers to do the same. As the Sea Dragon approaches Hawaii, Matzke is also organizing a Blue’aina cleanup at Lahaina Harbor with Trilogy as a welcoming event for the crew. Two Trilogy boats will be on hand at 8:30am on Saturday for firstcome, first-served passengers to go out and clean the reef ($20 donation). Bring your own snorkel gear, towel and mesh bag for picking up rubbish. Then at 11am the clean-up at the Lahaina Harbor begins, with participants asked to bring their own bags. At noon, some of the Sea Dragon crew will be available to talk about their crossing. For more info, see their Facebook page at facebook.com/blueaina. “While the earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunami debris topic is gaining momentum in the media, the truth is that the plastic pollution that slips every day unnoticed from shores into the sea and collects in the gyres is the real issue we need to address,” says Matzke. “There are many groups on the island dealing with the issue of marine debris in a myriad of ways–finding one is the easy part, making the commitment to change your plastic use is just as important but requires diligence. It’s time to wrap our heads and hands around this issue and face the plastic pollution that arrives every day on the very waves that lap our shores.” ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603n5

Kula Kid Does Detroit Or, here’s what happened when MauiTime won its first AAN Editorial Award
I got a good feeling in a bad city tonight.
By Anu Yagi
-Rancid, “Detroit” (eponymous debut; 1993)
O
h, Detroit. A place that demands you feel it. It’s got smooth, cool hands and hot nasty parts that’ll make you blush in bad ways; make you cry for more, too. It’s home to a people who say, “Look, this is who I am; we are.” And in so doing—at least for the tourist like me—challenges you to show something of yourself in turn. That said, I’m sorry to report that my recent Maui-to-Michigan errand was meant for a better, braver Valley Islander. Picking battles would be good advice if you had a choice in the first place. First place… Golly this goes against my MO of frothy self-loathe, but the whole weird reason I’m writing about Detroit (?!) is that I won first place (?!?!) in this dealie called the AAN Awards. (Ha. Ha. HA. Believe it or not, it’s got nothing to do with anonymous alcoholics. Just the pseudo-professional ones. Writing’s a great disguise gig for the self-enabled.) The acronym “AAN” stands for Association of Alternative Newsmedia and the awards are the dessert to the dinner that’s a hip industry conference, hosted by a different city annually. (Hence, Detroit in 2012.) The contest covers da whole country and Canada. It’s MauiTime’s very first first-place, if I may boast. And I won for my (recently retired) little Kula Kid column, of all things. So, Hawaii, you know how it is: a keiki wins one Mainland prize an’ so gotta go Up Dea fo’ represent, eh? The responsibility’s part of our post-modernish cultural protocol. My seat back and tray table was in its upright position with just a couple terrifying Orbitz clicks on Mom n’ Nana’s credit cards (building off of a serendipitously timed–albeit long-ago-planned–vacation to Humboldt, compliments of former MauiTime

editor Jacob Shafer, my one and only “Cap’n,” and his beautiful wife, Alyssa; a trip to which I’d also tacked-on a visit to Washington, DC, where my dear friend Traci, a fellow Kula kid, recently relocated with her husband, who now works at the Pentagon).
PANIC IN DETROIT Even in downtown Detroit’s most desolate streets, broken bits of pissed-on glass ain’t much match for hard Hawaiian feet. Who needs ruby slippers’ pointed pinch? Let my toes touch the ‘aina, wherever it may be and however concrete-covered. There’s life down there, I swear. Burgeoning and beautiful, because it’s of Earth. Sure, such islander naiveté in this day and age could land me with bacterial hepatitis, but who cares? My liver died long ago. Oh-so apropos (and prize aside), I left Motor City with a nicked lip and bloody black eye, nearly swollen shut, hangover notwithstanding. “Um, are you OK?” asked a young flight attendant, her kind hand on my shoulder. All through the airport I’d gotten glances from other women, which read, “You shouldn’t let that bastard do that to you!” “Nah. Jus’ had too much fun in your fine city. But thanks for asking,” I hiccuped. Honestly, I have no recollection of my happy bruiser, and it’s easy to convince someone of that kind of truth when you’re clutching a can of Armour Vienna Sausage (more on that later) and reeking of Eau de 8 Mile. Too much fun in a fine city indeed. And by “fun” I mean inspiration, moxie and love. Detroit dishes all that in spades; a diamond radically roughed so that it sparkles all the brighter in its renaissance. “Don’t tell me this city ain’t got no heart,” a
young man from Flynn told me, quoting The Grateful Dead. I’d have followed that up with “you just gotta poke around” but in Detroit you don’t have to. Every experience is evidence. Touchdown to take-off, after just 44 wild hours in Southeast Michigan, I’ve come to believe that what’s happening in their city will model the way our country at large exhumes itself from our current troubles. Keep an eye on them and remember I told you so. And to Hell with behemoth bailouts! Real revival’s being self-generated, revving in the hearts and minds of Detroiters. Talk to anyone investing themselves there and you’ll witness truly tenacious enterprise, grounded and growing from nostalgia. Then there’s the graffiti and wheatpaste art on abandoned brick buildings, which beg locals, “DETROIT, RESPECT YOURSELF!” It’s sort of sad, but says a lot. Moreover, I think the healing sentiment’s working. Lovely as our Hawaiian Isles may be, we’ve got loads to learn—even, if not especially— from places like Detroit. Though I’d come a long way at great expense to my family n’ friends, I still couldn’t afford the AAN Conference registration. So I crashed the nighttime parties. Duh. (Hey, I didn’t eat their food and I bought my own beer! And, with a travel-sized watercolor kit that my third grade teacher gave me when I had leukemia two years ago, I even made my own “Aloha, My Name Is” nametag that read “Imposter.”) A couple weeks before I took off from OGG, just two days before Award nominees were announced, an unsolicited psychic embraced me and whispered crisply in my ear, “RISK!” It’s good advice, to a point. The writers’ Way, some might say. That is, until you can’t remember anything the morning after. (It’s
the opposite of ideal when remembering’s the whole heart of your business.) Straight off the plane, I got gussied up, Google Mapped the club’s coordinates, and found my way to a Woodward Fountain-side party at the center of the city’s spoke wheel called Campus Martius Park. In ancient Rome, that meant “Field of Mars.” A fire destroyed the city in 1805, so Judge Augustus Brevoort Woodward (who Thomas Jefferson had appointed as the first “Chief Justice” of then-just-a-territory Michigan) designed its rebuilding with Campus Martius as the iris of its radial roads. Even cooler is that the layout’s modeled after Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s design for DC. (Our nation’s capital, coincidentally, was where my trip would conclude... By the way, I learned all that cool historic stuff—and loads more—the next day, from my new friends at The D:hive1.) As I stepped into the party, I was consumed with but one thought: WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? I was not in Kula anymore. Way up here in the massively contiguous United States of Anonymity, there’s no social life jacket of friendliness by proximate familiarity—at least, not for Mauian me. It’s easy to forget the comfortable side effect of one of our islands’ clever curses: that your auntie’s friend’s neighbor’s sister is around every corner. I really was an Imposter. Likely the only Imposter—and if not the only, certainly the most pitiful. Here I’d flung myself—by myself—halfway across the world on my grandmother’s dime, to land in a strange, old city as notorious as they come to collect what I thought could atbest be third place from people who didn’t even know I was here. Go ahead, open up your box of jokes about bright crayons. So I plowed through—and away—from
the party of high makamaka writerly types, chiming glasses a melody to their industry talk. Because if there’s anywhere I feel comfortable, it’s at the bar. And that’s where I found my liquid courage, always with its bag of levies not bargained for. At the beginning of the end of the first night, some Big Wig from the host paper, Metro Times, bought me a drink. Shot it when I was supposed to sip. Big Wig said, “That was impressive!” And that’s the last thing I remember. Well, it’s the last thing I remember until I came-to bawling in the lap of the politicianturned-United Way2-board member who I’d befriended earlier that night. A perfect gentleman who, thank God, ensured my safe return to the old but obscure Milner Hotel. (The Milner, bless it, is a place which a traveling wine dealer, riding with me in its oddly pie slice-shaped elevator, described as the poor man’s Chelsea.) A couple months before I took off from OGG, after my second-to-last feature for MauiTime, a different psychic told me that I’d “puka through” to another dimension of living after I experienced The Great Sob (with an emphasis on the definite article). Then I’d enjoy a lifetime of “vomiting truth.” Take that, Miss Cleo. So that first morning-after—amazed my poisoned brain could think of anything at all—I thought of the psychic(s) as I texted the turned-politician with my mortified apologies. He replied, “So u remember breaking down? U were quite hysterical. LOL.” Yikes. Yes, I remember screaming about Hawaiians’ je ne sais quoi genocide. The Bible. The Whale. The Big Five. The Tourist. How Hollywood has bitch-slapped our image around worse than Judy Garland. How the whole thing just ain’t fair. And again as before, I’m not cut out for any challenge—especially one of helping to piece our Hawaiian Humpty Dumpty identity, much as I ache to… Goddamn, Detroit. You and your mirror up to Nature! WELL, THERE. You happy? Force me to show mine ‘cause you bared yours? I warned you it wasn’t pretty. But cut me some slack. Please. Besides, isn’t there enough beauty in the world already? My night was stolen by the bottom of a glass, but I remembered that shit. Sure wish I could remember a bit more, though. See, when I got to the awards ceremony the following night, I asked if I could join the table of some Metro cats who looked sort of familiar. I was sure I talked to them at some point the night before. Just sure of it. I’m great with names and stories when I’m sober. But I couldn’t remember these cats’ names if it’d save a blind puppy from a toy store fire. The shit thing was, they knew who I was. And not even as “Imposter.” They called me Anu, proper as if Pidgin was their first language. Damnit. “Look, guys. I just wanna apologize for last night,” I said. “I really don’t remember a thing. Not even this,” I pointed at my busted eye. I was the only one laughing. “I wouldn’t worry about it—too much,” said the lean, lip-ringed boy to my left. He hung me on a long pause. I shrunk into my shoulders. “You said some very interesting things,” he casually exhaled. As if that made a bad thing better.
Crash, splat. I felt like a fat girl in a beauty pageant. Again. “Well, for one, you said, ‘Everything pleasurable begins with the tongue.’ You made a decent argument: food, breath, sex, speech.” “[Expletive deleted], I would NEVER say that,” I denied. I’m too prude. Surely he was lying! A trick city kids play on blackout bumpkins… I am poor, the pupu buffet looked rich, but the whole “tongue” thing made me too sick to sample. The Awards started suddenly and—evermore all a ball of nerves—I didn’t even use my last prepaid drink ticket. Which says a whole hell of a lot.
YOU REALLY LIKE ME?! “This is the part when the bucket-o-pigs blood dumps from the ceiling,” I told myself. Might’ve said it aloud, too. A virgin to accolades like these, I realized it’s something of a proportions thing: when losers win, it feels suspiciously extra-great. I was in the too-fancy Westin Book Cadillac’s Crystal Ballroom; the kind of joint I stink up by just standing too close to the door. Fancypants alt. journo folk were handing me a plastic trophy—not to keep, just to pose with—and a lowball of neat bourbon. It was the drink of the night, poured for first-place winners only. Though grinning and giddy I was still suspect of everything. Cheeks pink, I thought of Keats: O, for a draught of vintage! Prolly not bourbon, but a hemlock hydrosol. Surely a trick to rid Earth of my rambling... In lieu of certificates (forthcoming via snail mail), winners got to reach into a plastic grab bag, assembled from Detroit’s (Maybe The World’s) Most Curious—And Contagious— Automated Kiosk. This is AAN, after all. The vending machine’s goods included XXL men’s BVDs, a hot pink n’ black garter belt, a tiny bag of Cheetos, Hormel Chili, a travel enema kit, a banana flavored condom… Never thought I’d keep a can of Armour Vienna Sausage for all time, but it’s looking like I will. Someone then snapped a picture of me— one giant, tangled giggle—and all I could manage to mutter was “Shut up! SHUT UP!” Wished Eminem-in-my-head would’ve shut up. I couldn’t help but hear him: “If you had one shot, one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let is slip?” Yo, I squandered that moment. Though no one was really giving speeches, if I only had a brain I’d have at least tried to spew some semblance of the thanks in my heart. Would’ve tried to say how badly I want to make my sweet n’ sorrowful small town proud. Nope, not idiot me. The whole dealie was about honest, artful speech and I could only shout “SHUT UP!” It was, however, all sorts of fun to unabashedly chee hoo for former MauiTime art directors Scrappers and Chris Skiles, with current photographer Sean Hower, who for their 2011 MauiTime cover designs won an Honorable Mention. Scrappers also won third place in the same category for his good work at The Portland Mercury (which is where he is now, once again). Considering I killed Kula Kid a couple months back by quitting MauiTime, this AAN shindig was a posthumous surprise. Something like a hall pass from Heaven to attend your own funeral ‘cause the flowers smell that good.
Sometime toward the end of the program I mustered the courage to drink the bourbon. “Mahalo ke akua,” was earnestly on my bitter breath. And God, I’ll never taste another drink quite like it. When finally I got my wits about me and looked around, nearly everyone in the ballroom was gone. ‘Cept two smiling boys—one of them a fellow first-placer—and they wanted to buy me a beer. In five minutes flat we were The Three Musketeers, out on the town, talking craft and falling into the sort of city mischief that I hope’s written on the wind somewhere, ‘cause it’s too good for my pen. Terrence M. McCoy’s a ginger Wisconsinite who speaks fluent Khmerr and just wrote a book called The Playground, about wahine rebels in Cambodia. (McCoy’s book’s available on Amazon, and it has a sweet review in the The Washington Post, too). He’s a contributor to Thee Atlantic, among other awesome stuff, and just moved to Texas to write for f the Houston Press. Christopher Twarowski’s the investigative reporter at the helm of The Long Island Press, “the largest weekly newspaper serving Long Island, NY.” A multiple AAN Award winner and former staff writer for The Washington Post, he later drove five hours each-way to visit me in DC; twice bearing flowers, introducing me to his journo braddahs who work for Voice of America and orchestrating an impromptu Ethiopian-style birthday party, complete with a black velvet cape and mango smoothies. Both boys are Columbia School of Journalism grads (the only j-school in the Ivy League; offering Masters programs-and-up only), cool as they come, and my adventures with them alone could fill this entire page and then some. The thing is, I like ‘em so much that I hesitated inking anything about them at all. If I can fool them into being my friend for just a little bit longer, it’ll be too late for them to turn back. Back… It wasn’t time for me to go back to Maui, but I had to be on outta Detroit. Sprinting from a taxi in the too-early morning, I made my flight with literally a second to spare—swollen, stinking and so fully inspired. The glances, the glares, a kind hand on my shoulder, “…too much fun in your fine city…” Just before the plane took off to my turbulent snores, I took one last big gulp of “carbon and monoxide / the ol’ Detroit perfume,” as Paul Simon sings, and prayed its sweet and sour lessons might linger with me forever.
WINNING WASN’T EVERYTHING Detroit was but the intro to the first real vacation of my adult life (cancer not included): I lounged for a week in the ancient redwoods of Humboldt, under apple trees a la Newton or Eve; ambling along the epic Lost Coast, collecting pieces of dead creatures with my hanai nephews. Strange enough, it felt like coming home—though most everything I saw there I’d barely before even imagined. (Case in
point: pelicans. What’s that Jurassic shit?! Oh, and kelp is terrifying. The aesthetically evil tentacles of Cthulu, all too alive and well.) I rode a Greyhound to San Francisco, my myriad seatmates sharing South Park references, blonde hash and some sort of medicinal honey that, to illustrate its potency, comes in an itsy bitsy dropper bottle. Along the way I also made friends with a couple harmless Columbian drug dealers and almost got arrested at the airport (Sorry Mom). I ate cheesesteak in Philly. I saw the Liberty Bell. I rode the DC Metro to the Newseum where I was sobered by a memorial to the hundreds of journalists ist who were murdered for their work. I smoked cigarettes and ate Peruvian chicken at the Pentagon. I snagged a book t ffrom their 9/11 memorial cchapel called Battlefield PPrayers… With all that n’ then some, s I’m a little bolder and a barer for the wear. I returned r to Hawaii with 66 6 cents in my pocket; all, like li the love and time in my m life, borrowed to begin with. w Oh, and with can of Armour A Vienna Sausage. [1] The D:hive is an ultra-progressive place that “work[s] to make a personalized connection with each individual [they] come in contact with… [primarily] from a physical storefront in Detroit’s Central Business District where you will find help with anything Detroit: places to live, connections to great jobs, opportunities to link up with community organizations and leaders, and unique ways to explore and learn about this captivating city.” They hooked me up with a bad-ass private tour of downtown (thanks, Jon!), and if you’re ever in Detroit, you need to check ‘em out. Learn more at dhivedetroit.org. [2] Actually, I met two politicians-turnedUnited Way heroes. Other than the gentleman (his name was Mike), there was a woman named Britt to whom I said, “Dude. You look like a former Miss Detroit or something, right?” She didn’t deny it and I’m starting to think I’m getting pretty good at pegging strangers. Because I was simply crashing parties, she planned “the perfect day in Detroit” for me, written in girlish script on a cocktail napkin that she folded all origami-ish. (The list even included her dad’s cell phone number, should I have wanted to take his boat to Canada.) In addition to a tour from D:hive, Britt set up a tour with Marletta at United Way—which meant I spent two hours sobbing about the wonderful ways they’re saving the world. Food and shelter aside, did you know that for ever 300 kids in poverty there’s just one book? Compare that to 30 books for each kid in middle class-and-above. So, Southeast Michigan’s United Way has partnered with all 10 hospitals in the area to meet with mothers before and after birth, giving them a “Village in a Box,” a program which includes a free keiki book for every kid, every month, for the first five years of their life. That’s the most lighthearted of their stories. The others I’m still recovering from. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @anuhenyagi To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603L

PAU HANA BY JEN RUSSO
The Point Bar at Merriman’s Kapalua ish afternoon sipping away at scratch-made libations and impeccable pupus.
Jeff Groh, Wine Director and Beverage Manager
MERRIMAN’S KAPALUA One Bay Club Place, Lahaina 808-669-6400 merrimanshawaii.com/maui.htm DESCRIPTION: Nature, exquisite foods and luxurious beverages intersect flawlessly at the Point Bar at Merriman’s Kapalua. The gorgeous deck area has loungy comfortable seating, umbrellas for shade, even a couch and a fire pit for sundown. The expansive
area beckons to the wild east coastline of Molokai; it’s like sitting on the bow of a luxury yacht. For the last few years, Merriman’s used it as a wine bar, but people kept lusting for cocktails in this pristine outdoor environment that also overlooks Kapalua Bay. With Chef Peter Merriman’s menu, Jeff Groh, Wine Director and Beverage Manager, meticulously hatched a plan and a hand-crafted cocktail menu that would deliver one-of-a-kind flavors with Maui-grown products. Hence the Point Bar is the perfect place to spend a peck-
Smoked Taro Hummus
with Kauai’s Koloa rum. Bourbon under the sun is doable decked out in St. Elizabeth allspice dram and sweet tea.
GROH LOG: Jeff Groh instantly fell in love with the restaurant location and romance of HAPPY HOURS: 3-4:59pm living on Maui, so in March he whisked himself away from his Oregon home to steer the HAPPY HOUR DRINK SPECIALS: beverage program as Wine Director and Bev- Well drinks for $5; domestic beer for $3; origerage Manager at Merriman’s Kapalua. With inal Mai Tais are $6; 25 percent off glasses of lots of accolades like “Best Sommelier” in wine; 20 percent off wine bottles on the deck. Portland by Tasting Magazine and “Best Beverage Professional in the Pacific Northwest,” KAMA’AINA FOOD SPECIALS: 25 his style is innovative, but it hasn’t all gone to percent off food at the main bar all day, every his head. Jeff loves to live and breathe pota- day (inside, not on the deck) and 25 percent off tions. He says he brewed his own beer before food Tuesday nights in the main dining room he could buy it. for dinner seating (bring your Hawaii ID). Groh’s wine list for Point Bar cleverly alludes to physical phenomena with Pupus with a view selections under wines for sun and wines for shade, and champagne under “Every Sunset is a Celebration.” The cocktail menu is rife with homemade sodas, syrups, fresh garden herbs and artisinal spirits. It’s a glimpse of what urban bars are doing at the moment. Groh makes it relevant to Maui without the trendy prohibition handlebar mustache, suspenders, pomp and circumstance. “A drink doesn’t get better than its base spirit,” says Groh. The cocktails are so balanced you could serve them on a tightrope. COCKTAIL MENU AND PUPU MENU: The pupu menu showcases Merriman’s prowess with local produce from nearby farms. For instance, the taro in the smoked taro hummus is grown in nearby Honokohau valley. Merriman also shows it off in the taro fritters and the pan-sautéed Lehua taro cakes. The Nicoise salad is out of this world with Keahole lobster, prime filet mignon or seared ahi. Parmesan truffle fries and prime filet sliders with applewood bacon are just as spectacular. You’ll recognize the island’s tropical fruits are put to their best use with liquor: vodka and fresh pineapple cocktails with sage, Cazedores Tequila and mango, or the passion fruit and Ketel One. Anything with their coconut foam is amazing. Mai Tais come two ways: flor de cana or mixed
SECRET: I swoon for the Rum Runner’s menu, but you have to ask for it by name. Whisper the words to your server and get a jet lagfree pretend visit to the Caribbean. There Dark and Stormy, El Presidente and Corn n’ Oil join sippable rums and an elaborate rum cellar. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso

Epic Reboot
The action is breathtaking
The Amazing Spider-Man will leave you wanting more BY BARRY WURST II
The Amazing Spider-Man
★★★★★
Rated PG13 / 136 Min.
T
he reason why great comic book superhero movies stand out from the bad ones is simple: if they get the man behind the mask right, the rest of the film will work. We’re still talking about how great Christopher Reeve was as Superman because, sure, he played The Man of Steel well, but he made Clark Kent an endearing figure and gave a rich dual performance. Michael Keaton and Christian Bale are justly singled out for their complex depictions of Bruce Wayne and, really, the best scenes in Iron Man are with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, not his CGI stand-in. Whether it’s an origin story or a standalone tale, these films tend to grab us with their effects and wishful thinking fantasies (who wouldn’t want to Hulk out?) but if there’s no human center, it doesn’t resonate.
The biggest thing The Amazing Spider-Man gets right is putting a wonderful new actor into the role of Peter Parker and making the man behind the mask matter to us even more than his tussle with a CGI monster. Andrew Garfield plays Parker as a viciously bullied high school student whose acquaintance with his high school crush Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone, touching and adorable) leads him to accidental contact with a radioactive spider. Once the metamorphosis begins, so does a testy relationship with a scientist, played by Rhys Ifans, whose own transformation presents a threat to Parker and the entire world. Coming just a decade after Sam Raimi’s initial blockbuster, I was hesitant to embrace a reboot of something that worked fine the first time. However, the comparisons are in the new Spidey’s favor. I liked Tobey Maguire’s winning, understated Parker, but he seems catatonic compared to the tour de force Garfield gives here. Playing Parker like a high school Hamlet, Garfield is flush with angst, inner torment and believable teenage sulk. While initially jarring to see the character played as such a strange,
moody teen, Garfield’s performance is always believable and rich with depth. He and Stone have a potent chemistry and the love triangle of the past three films is thankfully gone. While a long film, in which Parker doesn’t don the mask until well into the running time, the narrative isn’t rushed and gives the human story as much room to breathe as the fanciful turns of the second and third act. Ifans is mostly upstaged by his CGI likeness, which eventually takes over his performance but terrific supporting work by Martin Sheen (as Parker’s compassionate uncle) and Denis Leary (as Stacey’s no-nonsense father) add flavor to the more low key scenes. The initial scenes of Parker discovering his new powers are slapstick heavy and the film’s biggest misstep, while Garfield’s mannered performance will likely cause the most fanboy debate. Director Marc Webb stages some exciting set
pieces, with the standout arguably an astonishing sequence involving Parker creating a vast gossamer in a sewer system. There’s also a brief but brilliant scene in a high school music room that cleverly utilizes Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee. The action is breathtaking but the attention to character and the core love story is what makes it soar. The closing scenes between Parker and Stacey left me choked up and surprisingly moved. Back in the 1990s, James Cameron had planned to make the first Spider-Man film but went with True Lies instead. With its unique James Horner score, huge action set pieces, touching love story, and ambitious scope, this feels like the Cameron comic book epic we almost got to see.■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1603f

Sign Language BY CAERIEL CRESTIN CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) How do you fly in your dreams? Do you swim through the atmosphere, glide, drift gently on warm breezes, catapult through the air like Superman, or impotently hover two feet above the ground? Your REM soaring technique reflects on your current attitude towards moving (or not) through life. Shallow symbolism? Perhaps. Or maybe you’re not willing to admit that, lately, your method of navigation has been to simply ride the strongest breath most recently blown in your direction. Flap your damn arms. Take responsibility for your direction instead of blaming your past circumstances for the mess you’re in now. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Sometimes strokes of luck hit so hard they hurt. This week, you may be dashed nearly to pieces by at least one freak occurrence of narrowly averted un-luck—or, good luck cleverly disguised as bad. A careening cab comes close to creaming you, and you tumble into the arms of your newest good friend. Nearly trapped in an elevator, you actually look at your fellow passengers. You miss the train that would get you to your meeting on time, but catch the eye of your next great love, waiting for the next train, just like you. The next time you’re nearly zapped by lightning, check out the source—the silver lining of the storm is your birthright, at least for a while. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) It’s frustrating, isn’t it, to have all these magnificent plans simply waiting to be brought to fruition, while you’re stuck sitting on your hands? It just plain sucks, especially when you think about all the times in your life when you were less directed and self-aware, but more empowered to act. Don’t give up on those dreams; they’ll come—perhaps even sooner than you think! See, on the surface this may appear to be a simple lesson in patience: Good things come to those who wait, and all that. But it’s not. Your hands may be tied, but your mouth isn’t. Good things come to those who ask for them, not who silently abide. Your assignment this week—decide what to ask for and from whom, then do it. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Virgos keep clean closets. I’ve seen this happen: One Virgo enters the home of another, and knows exactly where to find towels, Tupperware, or toilet paper rolls. That’s because most Virgos subscribe to basically the same version of reality. Their system makes sense, even to organizationally-challenged people like me (and maybe you). Libras are more idiosyncratic and artistic. The sooner your friends accept this basic fact about you, the happier everyone will be. They don’t have to understand why you hang clothes in the pantry and store cleaning supplies in your bedroom. You just do. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I look forward to the day you learn to truly relax. I picture you holding court, wizened and wise, in a rocking chair on your front porch. People will come to you for witty advice, sage counsel, and practical know-how. And you won’t be at the mercy of your intense, overcommitted lifestyle. You’ll have realized—at last—that you choose your busy-ness, instead of being a worried slave to it. But why wait until you’re old and withered and forced by circumstance into that realization? Think of it now, while you’re young enough to enjoy it. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) I had a cynical teacher in high school who used to say: “Thank God for stupid people.” Who else, he reasoned, would clean our houses, pick up our trash, wash our cars, and otherwise do all the tedious, menial tasks that more “evolved” people (like himself, presumably) couldn’t be bothered with? I, too, am grateful for those who are willing to do things I don’t enjoy. But I’m not idiotic enough to assume they’re stupid. Don’t kid yourself about the nature of your relationships. You are the servant to those you depend on, not the other way around. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Some of your ideas and opinions are anchored by rigid
concepts, calcified politics and blind faith. They’re pent up by unyielding schedules and controlled lists. I know you can’t ignore (or, better yet, incinerate, shred!) your day-planner. Unfortunately, most of you can’t seem to happily manage just getting your shit done in the haphazard, free-flowing manner the rest of us get by with. There may be no hope for you, bound and gagged as you are by your own mind–-more effectively than by the harshest slave master. But some Caps have learned the creative and spiritual importance of time to do nothing (or anything), and actually schedule time for this. Will you? AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You lucky, lucky brat. The hardest part of being so damn fortunate is diverting the jealousy of everyone else. You could try modesty—quit bragging, you loudmouth—although once your luck is discovered, it’s that much more astonishing (and enviable). There’s an elegantly simple solution that doesn’t run so counter to your nature: radical generosity. Spread the love around. That’ll keep people rooting for you. Don’t you just love the resulting image you’ll present—some kind of well-loved combination of Santa Claus and King Midas (whose touch turned things to gold)? Make it happen, baby. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Take special notice of fences, walls, security gates, and window bars. Boundaries. You have trouble setting them, declaring them, and defending them. But you’d rather suffer than step on someone else’s toes. I’ve decided it’s my duty to teach you sweethearts how to be gateways but not doormats; exalted servants, not slaves; and how to fly along with the people you lift up so high. Lesson one: Say no to every favor you’re asked this week. Really mean it. Once you’ve had a chance to breathe in your new freedom, selectively reconsider. Everyone who thought they had you in their pocket will know you jumped out, and everyone who believed they had you wrapped around a finger will realize that you cut it off.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Imagine being wrapped in black velvet on a sunny day. Suddenly, what might have been comfortable in another context isn’t; all that cozy luxury is transmuted into a form of horrendous torture. Being packed into an overcrowded commuter bus could be a claustrophobic nightmare—unless you were dying of hypothermia, or isolated loneliness. Every situation, no matter how extreme, can be interpreted in a variety of ways, depending on where you’re coming from. Since you can’t seem to squirm out of your trickiest dilemma, perhaps you can wriggle out of your limiting mindset about it. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) When I worked in the produce department at a health food store, I read many studies conducted to determine the differences between organic and commercially produced fruits and vegetables. In addition to some pretty nasty—and virtually irremovable—shit they spray on some crops, they force them to grow with foul chemical fertilizers. Scientists hired to prove the opposite could only conclude that most of these vegetables and fruits were— nutritionally—bland, empty shadows of their organic counterparts. I share this information not just to plug sustainable agriculture, but to warn you: Watch what you feed yourself—mentally, spiritually, and physically—what’s put in is what’ll come out, only superficially transformed. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) This week will have at least a superficial resemblance to going bowling. You’ll pay for the privilege of putting on tight, smelly shoes worn by untold dozens of people from all walks of life. You’ll attempt to enjoy absorbing all that smoke-breathing, junk-food-eating sweat through the pores of your feet. Don’t get it? You’ll probably have to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. If you don’t get all caught up in feelings of abashed superiority, you might realize how well they fit, might even be tempted to sneak the shoes out of the alley and wear them until they wear right out.
