FORMER COUNTY STAFFER SAYS PROCESS NOT BROKEN Earlier this month, Maui County Planning Department Director Will Spence
requirements, was severely diminished. By these and other actions the process was disrupted. It took a toll on both the work to be done and on the workers themselves. The plane crash on Lanai was a tragic finale for staff already struggling to meet their obligations to the public. But the crash was not the singular event that disrupted the Lanai Plan. And the Lanai Plan should not be used as a pawn to manipulate the public’s perception. “It is not the process that is broken. There is a problem with lack of administration willingness to appropriately administer the process. “The guarantees and protections that inhibit unencumbered growth on Maui continue to be under threat. Changes to the process could seriously weaken the protections we have managed, despite the odds, to have in place. “Because changes require Council approval and because we have a different Council next year, watch for a rapid attempt to alter or amend 2.80B in the coming weeks.”
immigrants, non-whites, women and LGBT persons. That’s why it’s nice to see that on the afternoon of Nov. 22, about a dozen Maui High students and faculty members took a stand for stronger ideals: tolerance and acceptance. At 2:05pm, Maui High students waved signs against hate on South Lono Avenue in Kahului, in front of the school’s bus-loading area. Maui High teacher Gregory Jones, one of the organizers of the rally (which he said was not sponsored by any group), said the idea for it started with a muttered but still ominous remark. “The first part of this was just printing a simple mini poster after hearing a student make a disparaging remark about ‘Mexicans’ (muttered to himself–thankfully–no one has been verbally assaulted in my class),” he said in an email shortly before the rally. “Students really appreciated it; it said “STOP HATE” in bold. I pointed it out to them and made sure that all my classes understood that my classroom was a safe place where hate was not tolerated. I forwarded that to the staff.”

You know you live in a magical age when politics is largely conducted on Twitter and repulsive white supremacy infests much of the Republican Party. But hey–here we are. As we (and pretty much everyone else) reported last week, U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, D–Hawaii, took a meeting on Nov. 21 with President-elect Donald Trump. She says they discussed foreign policy, while the press corps reported that she’s under consideration for some kind of administration post. The meeting would have attracted great attention by itself, but a few days prior a letter signed by 169 House Democrats, none of which were named Tulsi Gabbard, went to Baby Donald denouncing his decision to choose white nationalist Breitbart honcho Stephen Bannon to be his “chief strategist.” Gabbard’s decision not to sign the letter only heightened emotions out here that she was, in fact, soft on the white supremacy espoused by Trump and his inner circle. But apparently, even Gabbard has limits. On Nov. 23, former KKK Imperial Wizard David Duke–as big a Trump fan as there is–tweeted that Gabbard would make an excellent Secretary of State. “Tulsi Gabbard for Secretary of State!” he tweeted. “An example of the need for political realignment.” On Nov. 26, Gabbard spurned Duke’s love note, though she did so using an @ reply that meant many of her Twitter followers (unless they also follow David Duke) probably missed. “U didn’t know I’m Polynesian/Cauc?” Gabbard wrote in her tweet to Duke. “Dad [State Senator Mike Gabbard] couldn’t use ‘whites only’ water fountain. No thanks. Ur white nationalism is pure evil.” Bravo, I say, though I have to question why it took Gabbard three days to respond to the despicable David Duke.
and Deputy Director Michele McLean signed an op-ed in The Maui News saying the county would soon seek changes to the law governing community plans. This came a few weeks after The Maui News reported on a memo it had obtained from Mayor Alan Arakawa saying that the whole planning process was “broken.” On Nov. 12, former county Planning Department employee Connie Tucker sent a letter to The Maui News disputing the Arakawa-Spence-McLean line. Since the paper has not published her letter, Tucker said we could do so. Here it is, as she sent it: “In their Nov 6th editorial letter Will Spence and Michele McLean offered their reasons for changing the Community Plan process,” Tucker wrote. “They cited the extended time frame for producing the Lanai Community Plan and suggested that planning staff is inadequate to meeting the requirements of the Charter, section 2.80B. “I am retired from the Long Range Division, was employed under this and the previous administration, and I worked on both the Maui Island Plan and the Lanai Community Plan. “What Will and Michele failed to include in their opinion piece is that in 2013, while the Lanai Plan was underway, the Long Range Division had vacant, budgeted Planner and GIS positions that the administration opted not to fill. Instead it was decided to implement Division relocations and a complete Department reorganization. Over the objections of planning staff, they moved the Zoning and Enforcement Division and the Planning Administration’s own offices from County owned property to rental offices at One Main Plaza. Long Range was moved to a space about 1/3rd smaller. Since offices had to be built out there were months of work interruptions and hardships for staff. Then, in the reorganization of the Planning Department, the vacant Long Range positions were shifted to other divisions, again over the vehement objections of staff. “The work force of Long Range, the division tasked with meeting the Charter

MAUI HIGH STUDENTS, TEACHERS RALLY AGAINST HATE These days, it’s hard to look at the news without seeing a story about hate and vitriol somewhere in the U.S. spewed at Muslims, Jews,
Overheard “What’s the perfect gift to give someone who already has everything? A flamethrower.”
But Jones soon decided that he, and his students, needed to do more. “The idea for the sign waving came about because I was looking at my Facebook feed a few days later, as hate crimes started to ramp up and I said to myself, ‘I can’t just sit here sharing articles on social media, I need to get out there,’” said Jones. “So I messaged another teacher, she liked the idea and we started putting this together. We feel like our students need to hear a clear message from us about what’s okay and what’s not.” A few days after the rally, I asked Jones how it went. “We felt like it was a success,” he said via email. “That was merely an opening. We intend to organize more.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @apignataro

NEW SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SUGAR WORKERS AND THEIR KIDS

Hawaii’s leading philanthropic institute is lending a hand to the employees and families left without work following the end of the sugar cane era. The Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) has created a new scholarship fund designed to support the Maui sugar industry workers and their children after the recent closure of Hawaii’s last sugar mill. The Rapozo Scholarship Fund for Maui Sugar Industry Workers was established by Wayne James Rapozo de Costa of London, United Kingdom and the Rapozo Kama‘aina Fund, a family donor advised fund administered by HCF. “My extended family and I wanted to send a message of appreciation to the Maui workers who are running Hawaii’s last harvest and to recognize them for their good work, sense of stewardship and dedication over the years,” Rapozo said. “I have the utmost confidence in them and their children as they enter the next chapter of their lives following the last harvest, and this scholarship is a small way to send them our aloha.” Rapozo was born and raised on Kauai and spent much of his childhood with his grandparents on the Gay and Robinson sugar plantation. His grandfather, George Rapozo, was one of the last traditional lunas (field managers) on Kauai. Rapozo currently lives and works as an international corporate attorney in London and is an acclaimed collector of old master and modern works of art. “As the sugar industry on Maui comes to a close, we would like to thank Mr. Rapozo and his family for their generosity in providing
this scholarship to honor the dedicated sugar workers on the island,” said Deborah Rice, senior philanthropic services officer on Maui for the Hawaii Community Foundation. “The Rapozo scholarship will touch the lives of many sugar workers and their children during challenging times.” To be eligible to apply for the scholarship, students must be an employee of a company that was primarily engaged in the growing and harvesting of sugar on Maui during 2015 and 2016 or be a child of such an employee. Applicants will be asked to address this point in an essay submitted with the application. Students need to simply fill out one online application and to be matched with multiple scholarships, including the Rapozo Scholarship Fund. HCF has more than 200 scholarships and awards more than $4.5 million each year to students across the state. The deadline to submit applications is 4pm on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2017 Hawaii Standard Time (HST). Visit Hawaiicommunityfoundation.org for more information on required supporting materials that are needed for applications. Applicants will be notified between April and July if they have been selected to receive a scholarship. As the third largest provider of scholarships in the state, HCF offers thousands of opportunities for students to receive scholarships to assist in their dreams of receiving a post-secondary education. HCF has been distributing scholarships for students for more than 80 years. With 100 years of community service, the Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF) is the leading philanthropic institution in the state. HCF is a steward of more than 700
Maui’s Pacific Primate Sanctuary (PPS) has been named a “2016 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits. The sanctuary, located in Haiku, is an entirely volunteer, nonprofit refuge dedicated to the protection of threatened and endangered rainforest monkeys. Many of the primates have been rescued from laboratories, the pet trade, and tourist attractions. PPS works to provide a place of peace and rehabilitation, creating naturalistic habitats where primates can begin to recover from the trauma and abuse they have suffered. The monkeys are nurtured with dedicated care and provided an abundance of organically grown food and forage in an ideal subtropical climate. “We are honored to be named a ‘2016 TopRated Nonprofit’ for the third year in a row,” said Erin Enriques, PPS Operations Manager. “We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including caring for the primates, protecting and serving their at-risk species, providing extensive education and training in primate rehabilitation and caregiving to international interns, students, and local volunteers, offering no-cost environmental education through Sanctuary outreach programs and an extensive website, which teach the public about the need for conservation of native environments and our local, national and global stewardship responsibilities.” The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that the Sanctuary received from volunteers, donors and aid recipients. “I have been inspecting this facility for more than 24 years–my entire APHIS career,” said Dr. Elizabeth Lyons inspecting USDA Federal Veterinary Medi-
cal Officer. “At all times, the facilities and care provided here have far exceeded USDA regulations and standards… I would like to express my profound gratitude and appreciation for the work done here. It has been my pleasure to observe the growth and change, which continue to benefit and enhance all primates (humans included) associated with this special sanctuary.” PPS provides rehabilitation and permanent care for threatened, endangered, and distressed primates. Everyone involved with the Sanctuary is unsalaried and the nonprofit operates with an entirely volunteer staff, funded solely by money donated by compassionate individuals and organizations. The needs of the primates at PPS are first and foremost. Each primate is provided the best care possible for his or her physical, psychological and social well-being. The monkeys are treated with respect, compassion, and understanding. They are provided the housing, social grouping, nutrition, and care that best benefit and facilitate their natural behavior. Primate enclosures are designed to provide as natural an existence as is possible in captivity and the ability to fulfill the entire range of innate drives. This includes access to outdoor enclosures, natural vegetation, an “enriched” environment, varied and healthy diet, space enough to live freely in social groups. Perla Ni, CEO of GreatNonprofits, said PPS is a great example of a nonprofit making a real difference in the community. “Their award is well-deserved recognition not only of their work, but the tremendous support they receive, as shown by the many outstanding reviews they have received from people who have direct experience working with Pacific Primate Sanctuary,” Ni said. GreatNonprofits is a website where people share stories about their personal experiences on more than 1.2 million charities and nonprofits. The GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Awards are the only awards for nonprofits determined by those who have direct experience with the charities–as donors, volunteers and recipients of aid. ■

News Of The Weird POLICE REPORT
WELL, OF COURSE!
The police chief of Bath Township, Ohio, acknowledged the overnight break-in on Oct. 10 or 11 at the University Hospitals Ghent Family Practice, but said nothing was missing. It appeared that an intruder (or intruders) had performed some medical procedure in a clinical office (probably on an ear) because instruments were left in bowls and a surgical glove and medication wrappings tossed into a trash can (and a gown left on a table). And a 35-year-old man was detained by police in Vancouver, British Columbia, in October after a home break-in in which the intruder took off his clothes, grabbed some eggs and began preparing a meal. The homeowner, elsewhere in the house, noticed the commotion and the intruder fled (still naked).
Motorist Luke Campbell, 28, was arrested near Minneapolis in September and charged with firing his gun at several passing cars, wounding one man (a bus passenger)–explaining to a bystander that shooting at other vehicles “relieves stress.” And Briton Mark Wright, 45, caught with illegal drugs taped to his penis following his arrest for burglary, told Newcastle Crown Court in September that he had “hidden” them there to keep them secret from his wife (perhaps identifying one place that she no longer visits).
HOW TO TELL IF YOU DRANK TOO MUCH
*Some restrictions apply. Offer ends 12/31/16.
Ashley Basich, 49, was arrested in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in October and charged with DUI after police found her, late at night, using an industrial forklift to pick up and move a van that she explained was blocking her driveway. Problems: She works for the state forestry department and had commandeered a state-owned vehicle, she had a cooler of beer in the forklift and was operating it while wearing flip-flops (OSHA violation!), and the van “blocking” her driveway was her own.

Though most Chicago Police Department officers get no more than five civilian complaints in their entire careers (according to one defense attorney), CPD internal records released in October reveal that some had more than 100, and, of 13,000 complaints over 47 years in which police wrongdoing was conceded, only 68 cases resulted in the officer actually being fired (although the worst police offender, Jerome Finnigan, with 157 complaints over two decades, is now in federal prison).
COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS Two men in rural Coffee County, Georgia, told sheriff’s deputies in November that they had planned to soon attack a science-research center in Alaska because peoples’ “souls” were trapped there and needed to be released (or at least that is what God told Michael Mancil, 30, and James Dryden Jr., 22, causing them to amass a small, but “something out of a movie” arsenal, according to the sheriff). The High Frequency Active Aural Research Facility, run by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, has long been a target of conspiracists, in that “the study of the Earth’s atmosphere” obviously, they say, facilitates “mind control,” snatching souls.

RECENT HOSPITAL BILLS Paula D’Amore claimed she deserved a discount from the $7,400 “delivery room” charge for the April birth of her daughter at Boca Raton (Florida) Regional Hospital– because the baby was actually born in the backseat of her car in the hospital’s parking lot. (Nurses came out to assist D’Amore’s husband in the final stages, but, said D’Amore, only the placenta was delivered inside.) And in October, new father Ryan Grassley balked at the $39.95 line-item charge from Utah Valley Hospital (Provo, Utah)–for the mother’s holding her new C-section son momentarily to her bare chest (a “bonding” ritual). (Doctors countered that C-section mothers are usually drugged and require extra security during that ritual–but that Utah Valley might rethink making that charge a “line item.”)
PEOPLE WITH ISSUES A 49-year-old man was partly exonerated by a court in southern Sweden in September when he convinced the judge that he had a severe anxiety attack every time he received an “official” government letter in the mail (known as “window envelopes” in Sweden). Thus, though he was guilty of DUI and several other minor traffic offenses while operating his scooter, the judge dropped the charge of driving without a license because the man never opened the string of “frightening” letters informing him that operating a scooter requires a license.
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Jacob Roemer, 20, was arrested in Negaunee Township, Michigan, after a brief chase on Oct. 29 following an attempted home invasion. The resident had confronted him, chasing Roemer into the woods, where a State Police dog eventually found him lying on the ground unconscious and bloody, after, in the darkness, running into a tree and knocking himself out.
READERS’ CHOICE For not the first time in history, a fire broke out this year in a hospital operating room caused by the patient’s passing gas during a laser procedure. The patient at Tokyo Medical University Hospital, in her 30s, suffered burns across her legs in the April incident, which was finally reported in the Japanese press in October when the hospital completed its investigation. ■

h Brah, why do you burn abandoned cars? When you do, you unleash an environmental disaster. All those fluids and plastics and kinds of rubber go into the air. One car that was burned on Hana Highway caused a drool of black slime to run down the gutter toward the nearest gulch–and the ocean. When you leave a car with the “orange sticker of death” alone, the county takes it away and it gets drained and the tires get removed. Only then does it get crushed, and the aina heaves a sigh of relief. ■

TEACH Learns a Lesson A group of investors wants to lease Old Maui High for $1/year. But Northshore residents aren’t so sure. By Deborah Caulfield Rybak
PHOTO BY SEAN M HOWER
O
n a clear, calm evening in early November, a group of about 70 mostly North Shore residents gathered in front of the Old Maui High School in Hamakuapoko to hear how a group of investors planned to transform the abandoned, eerily beautiful 23.5-acre property, the island of Maui, and the world. The for-profit organization TEACH (Technology-Education-Agriculture-CommunityHealth) seemed to be just a few Maui County Council votes away from acquiring a 60-year lease for $1 a year. In return, TEACH representatives Mark Chasan and Jason Hobson explained, their group proposed to create “a living laboratory, innovation campus and gathering place” to “foster increased and sustainable social, economic and environment benefit for Maui” and “improved health of...Earth’s systems.” Translated into brick and mortar, the $56 million concept includes: • A 32,000 sq. ft. Center for Agriculture & Permaculture • Center for Living Technologies, Local Economy & the Regenerative Society (15,000 sq. ft.) • Cultural Center for Preservation & Integration of Hawaiian Culture and Ancient Earth Wisdom (5,000 sq. ft.) • Youth Camp (6,000 sq. ft.) • An Optimal Wellness & Personal Development Center (23,000 sq. ft.) • Eco-Social Entrepreneurship Center (14,000 sq. ft.) • Amphitheater, Stage and Event Park (5,000 sq. ft.) • Conference Facility (22,000 sq. ft.) • Restaurant, Patio Dining, Teaching Kitchen (7,000 sq. ft.); Gift Shop (6,000 sq. ft.); Glamping, Camping & Student and Worker Housing (59,000 sq. ft.) • Applied Education Center (9,000 sq. ft.) • Everything else (3,500 sq. ft.)
10 DECEMBER 1, 2016
As Teena Rasmussen from the mayor’s Office of Economic Development (OED), county Environmental Coordinator Rob Parsons and Richard Lucas, representing the Friends of Old Maui High School (the property’s current caretakers) beamed approval, Chasan opened his arms to the crowd and declared, “I’m just a haole dude from the mainland; I need to learn a lot. We want to collaborate to build a healthy Maui together. We want to demonstrate to the world that it’s possible to do good.” And that’s when the wheels got wobbly on the magic bus. Instead of receiving a standing ovation for the buzzword-laden power point presentation that followed, Chasan and Hobson found themselves gob smacked by a barrage of less-than-friendly questions. One woman, describing herself as an environmental engineer, said, “I know about everything you’re discussing.” Chasan enthusiastically welcomed her input as a member of a soon-to-be formed citizen’s advisory board. “I don’t want to be on an advisory board,” she shot back. “I want a job.” Recent county council candidate Tiare Lawrence asked exactly what TEACH was thinking to create 200,000 square feet of new space when nearby Paia had only 150,000 sq. feet of commercial space. A local waterman wanted to know what would happen to Ho‘okipa; commuters asked about increased traffic on the already congested Hana Highway and business types wondered why a for-profit group of mostly off-island investors was getting a nonprofit lease price of $1 a year (by comparison, the Fat Chicks Burgers concession at the Waiehu Golf Course pays $32,412 a year to the county). But the main questions thrust at Hobson and Chasan, both California lawyers, were numerous variations of “who are you guys and why are we just hearing about this plan now?” That night, the meeting ended with a pule led by Paia activist Francine “Aunty Mopsy” Aarona, who asked for everyone who cared about the Hamakuapoko land to come together “and make it pono.” With Maui’s West and South sides packed
with hotels, condos and other developments, it was only a matter of time before attention turned to the island’s relatively quiet North Shore, home to Paia, some small commercial areas in Haiku and little else in the way of development. The pushback against TEACH’s proposal is the current manifestation of the anxiety North Shore residents feel as the last canefields burn and almost certain alterations to their landscape and the region’s laid-back lifestyle loom. But those concerns are colliding with the financial costs that Maui County continues to incur with the costly upkeep of the deserted campus, and with the strong emotional attachment of high school alumni, who are laser-focused on finding someone to preserve the remains of their beloved institution. Long before A&B announced its exit from the sugar cane business, representatives from the Friends of the Old Maui High School (FOMHS) paid a visit to OED Director Rasmussen. The nonprofit group was at its wit’s end about the campus, an expensive thorn in the county’s side since the school–opened in 1913–closed in 1972. Used by the University of Hawaii for experiments with hybrid plants from 1975 to 2000, the campus disintegrated shortly thereafter. The well collapsed and the cesspool system was removed. Three arson fires, rampant vandalism and jungle-like overgrowth threatened the rest of the property. In 2005, a group of alumni and preservationists reached an agreement with the county to pay the nonprofit FOMHS some $65,000$100,000 a year to maintain the property (actually two parcels: a 22.158 parcel loaned by the state to Maui County and a 1.38 acre county parcel) while the group looked for someone financially able to restore the infrastructure and preserve what was left of its historic Charles W. Dickey-designed administration building, among other structures. FOMHS program manager Richard Lucas recalls more than two dozen entities proposing uses at one time or another. They
included a prison, an animal shelter, charter schools, a middle school and a high school. But after studying the campus’ condition, he told council members at a recent meeting, “they all walked away.” Now, the Friends wanted to walk away, too. Their members were aging and could no longer care for the property. They needed the county’s help. Using a master plan developed after six community input meetings in 2007 (which called for an environmental education center) and state guidelines that required that the property be used for public purposes, including education and agriculture, Maui County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) in late 2014, offering a 20-year lease at $1 per year to a qualified party. By the March 2015 deadline, there was only one viable proposal submitted, according to Rasmussen. It came from TEACH Development LLC. TEACH Development LLC was created only to deliver the RFP. After 19 months, the group still has no apparent website and no formal office, just a Honolulu address used by an engineering firm run by TEACH Chairman Mel Chiogioji. It’s an unusual consortium of individuals to be clamoring to develop an environmental Eden. According to CEO Chasan, the original group consisted mainly of individuals with backgrounds in military and defense agencies. In the proposal, two are retired officers, two others list the Defense Information Systems Agency as a major employer/client and a third worked as Comptroller for the Defense Information Contracting Organization for 25 years. More understandable is Glenn Mason, a well-respected Honolulu-based architect with deep experience in historical architecture and culturally sensitive sites, who first inspected the cmpus in 2006. Aside from Mason and Chiogioji, a retired Rear Admiral whose company, Mele Associates, works on big engineering projects such as nuclear reactors, none of the other consortium members have spoken publicly on
After receiving the TEACH proposal and a full endorsement from the Friends of OMHS board of directors, the county and TEACH hammered out an agreement. When the proposed lease went before the Economic Development, Energy, Agriculture and Recreation (EAR) Committee in early August, two people stepped forward to offer supportive public testimony: Barbara Long, past president of FOMH and board member Kathy McDuff. In additional to the expansion from a 20-year lease to a 60-year lease (for $1 a year), the original lease terms provided for a five-year tax abatement and required the county to make improvements to Holomua Rd, the five-mile partially paved, heavily damaged link between Baldwin Ave. and the Hana Highway. The TEACH RFP also demanded assurances that if it needed permits, it wanted them “in a significantly shorter timeframe than the ‘business as usual’ timeframe from the County Authorities.” By the second EAR meeting in August, several other members of the public appeared and registered some alarm at the lease terms and conditions. As a result, when the lease passed out of committee and came before the full county council on Sept. 16, the tax abatement clause had been separated from the lease and road improvement would only
happen with “funding appropriations.” Again, a supportive group of Old Maui High School board members and alumni offered public testimony in support of the TEACH proposal, calling it a “noble mission that would benefit future generations.” The Maui Chamber of Commerce sent a letter of approval as well. But a handful of other testifiers weren’t as positive. Traffic issues were raised, along with concerns that the for-profit enterprise would invalidate the state-mandated use of the land for public purposes. Pukalani resident Carin Enovijas was particularly leery of TEACH’s requests for road improvements and expedited permitting. She noted the abundance of “environmentally and culturally friendly buzzwords,” adding that the county asked for “no demands from TEACH that it will actually provide the numerous for-profit services they describe, which seems to entail everything from ending global hunger… to balancing the forces of good and evil.” Instead of approving the lease and sending it to Mayor Alan Arakawa to sign,
“
As Chasan and Hobson somberly watched from their seats, opposition washed over council chambers with the intensity of a Peahi breaker. “You’re effectively creating another Paia five miles down the road,” Paia businessman Martin Brass told committee members. “This is a classic public-private partnership and we’re getting the short end of the stick.” Martin later wrote the committee that he was “gravely concerned” about the financial terms of the lease which he saw as totally unbalanced in favor of TEACH (the organization projects $17 million in income starting in year five, with the county continuing to receive only $1 a year). In written testimony, realtor Nicole Spalding suggested that the county show the lease to a group of “experienced real estate professionals” since it “seems to be insufficient or incomplete in many ways.” Surfers like Matt Meola weighed in about the potential impact on Ho‘okipa, worrying about “runoff ruining and killing our reefs and fish. I’m worried about traffic… there is already a huge lack of parking…” Finally, Chairman Don Guzman spoke
“
TEACH’s behalf, or are mentioned anywhere but in the original proposal. “Most of that team was attached when I first saw the RFP,” Chasan explained. “I brought in Jason (Chief Development Officer and General Counsel Hobson, who runs his California law practice from his home in Paia, has considerable expertise in low-income housing and tax credit financing), and Bill Reed,” CEO of Regenesis, a leader in green building design. “I am the visionary and architect of [the TEACH concept],” Chasan says, “but I have to say these people who spent their lives in military and government are amazing executors. They’re smart, honest and have integrity. They’re retired now and want to leave a legacy by doing something good.” As for Chasan’s bio, he is “of counsel” to Hobson’s firm, Hobson, Bernardino + Davis, and the two also work at Transformative Group, an organization that its website says helps companies morph into “Whole and Healthy businesses.” He’s also founder, Chairman and “Chief Visionary AWEfficer” of A.W.E. (Abundance, Wellness & Enlightenment) Global, Inc., which—along with Transformative Group—has a contact address that corresponds to Chasan’s San Rafael, CA home. Part of AWE Global is the creation of AWE Centers, described on its website as “utilizing whole-person/wholesystems approaches” and integrating under one roof “collaborative workspace, wellness space and personal development space” and providing “outsourced enterprise services to create “Abundant, Well & Enlightened People and Organizations for a Thriving Planet.” Chasan said he got the idea after “a big download” in 2010 (although he registered an AWE trademark with the U.S. Patent Office in 2004 as a “health club service”). He says he has been unable to create any AWE centers to date “because it’s hard to find land that has the right zoning.” He says the OMHS property is perfect.
“You’re effectively creating another Paia five miles down the road. This is a classic public-private partnership and we’re getting the short end of the stick.”
Council members unanimously voted to return it to the EAR committee for further review and consideration. Councilmember Riki Hokama suggested that the county allow “right of entry” to TEACH to perform due diligence on the property prior to signing the lease, an idea supported by Councilmember and OMHS alumna Gladys Baisa: “Then there wouldn’t be as much concern for a long-term contract.” When the EAR committee convened on Nov. 15, just days after the fractious Old Maui High School gathering, the coconut wireless had clearly been thrumming. Residents packed council chambers to offer testimony about the plan and more than 75 emils were delivered. Although a few people—mostly from Friends of Old Maui High School—spoke strongly in support of the project, most railed against the idea. The proposal was described as “a luxury windsurfer hotel on free land,” “fishy” and “suspicious.” Other speakers faulted the Office of Economic Development and the Friends of Old Maui High School for not suggesting earlier to TEACH principals that they meet with the community. “They should have known better and had these discussions months ago,” said local filmmaker Sam Shaw. “[TEACH was] misinformed.”

up, after noting that some 50 speakers were still waiting to give testimony. “My plans are to defer this matter.” The chamber erupted in applause and cheering, and the crowd quickly thinned. OED Director Rasmussen was upset by some of the public comments, telling the committee the lease was not just $1 per year. “This land has been costing the county about $75,000 a year to maintain and it hasn’t generated property tax for 40 years. We are taking care of it for no public purpose at all,” she said. “When TEACH assumes the lease, they will immediately owe $13,500 per year in property tax, based on the buildings that are currently there and property maintenance will fall on them as well. So that’s a gain of almost $100,000 to the county that we can use on other open space projects.” Rasmussen added, “A lot of people in the community are thinking that approving this lease is the end. It is just the beginning of the process. They’ll need to do a traffic assessment, get permits for everything—it will be a huge process. And we know there needs to be more community engagement.” Two and a half hours into the hearing, Hobson and Chasan sat before committee members. “If we’re going to make this work, you’ve got to gain the trust of the com-
munity,” Guzman told the pair. “One community meeting is a start, but there’s a whole North Shore community that you can meet with individually and in groups.” He warned them, “Don’t give us the heavy lifting. We are not going to go out and do your job to make the community trust you—you’ve got to do that. Show that it’s a legitimate purpose and that you have true intentions. Until then, I think you need more outreach and I think you understand that.” Several days later, Chasan reflected on the process he’d been through. “I guess our mistake was not knowing. We believed that the Friends of the Old Maui High School got deep community engagement and that the community had already bought off on it. We talked to the council; they thought it was fantastic. It met everything they wanted to see, so it was looking like it was going to go through.” Chasan maintains that TEACH’s proposal is just a “vision,” not a concrete plan. “All we were saying is, ‘Here’s an idea. We believe it can be economically viable.’ The actual plan will come once the lease is signed, which will unlock the investment we need in order to do more community engagement and collaboration.” Chasan also claims that his group conducted no studies prior to applying for the lease, other than “high level market research.” Despite a number of reports already conducted on the physical condition of the site, Chasan said his group doesn’t know what the condition of the land is environmentally, how much it will actually cost to build TEACH’s vision or whether anyone will come once it’s built. When asked about the project’s size compared to Paia, Chasan explained that repairing the infrastructure to “ground level” would take some $23 million. “We can’t do that with a small project. So we may end up saying the community doesn’t want something of this size, so all we can do is historic renovation, but will that make economic sense? After we spend $600,000 in the first six months, we may find that the project doesn’t work at all.” But Chasan flatly dismissed the suggestion raised by Councilmembers Hokama, Baisa and Guzman that TEACH be allowed “right of entry” to do its due diligence prior to signing the lease. “When we have a lease, investors will invest and we’ll need ongoing financing while we do our due diligence.” And of course, TEACH will be talking to the community. A lot. “We’re planning on holding a community meeting at Ho‘okipa in January and we’ll continue to work with various community and spiritual leaders to listen to their suggestions, until we’ve reached a point of truly having enough community input,” Chasan said. “At that point, we’ll either say, ‘It makes no sense to proceed,’ or we will ask to put it back on the committee docket before the new council.” He remains upset by suggestions that his group plans to create a “resort” or “a theme park” or a hotel. “Those are things we’ve been wrongfully accused of,” he said, insisting, “I’m not a developer. I’m a guy who wants to do something good in the world.” ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

One of the first things I noticed is the new interiors have a soothing effect, created by new textiles, furnishings, textures and art appearing in mostly neutrals with just a pop of bold color. From this you really notice the vibrant greens and blues of the outdoors. “We wanted to create a fresh and a modern room that was luxurious yet still comfortable and also very flexible to cater to the guest experiences and different uses of the room,” says Nichols. “The layouts were thoughtfully done. Different zones created for lounging and working that could be used for dining. We utilized the space on the lanai for relaxing and eating as well, making it feel like additional space in the room, giving it a living room type of a feel. We wanted to connect the indoors and outdoors and blur that line so the room felt larger, with a residential aesthetic as well. As with every project we wanted a strong sense of place. We layered a modern Hawaiian esthetic into the design, down to different textures and geometric patterns and the textiles that felt very natural and authentic to location. The overall palette

he holidays can be intense. If you’re feeling the pressure, it might be time to take a holiday of your own. The Four Seasons in Wailea just finished a gorgeous two-year interior transformation with Wimberly Interiors and they’re offering epic kama‘aina room rates through Dec. 18. This is the perfect opportunity to indulge in a retreat at Maui’s five star luxury resort. “We know that the holidays represent a busy time for residents of Hawaii,” says General Manager Jean Claude Wietzel. “That’s why we have deliberately carved out dates just before the rush to escape from the daily grind, right here on Maui. Kama‘aina Season is the one time of the year when we can thank the local community for its year-round support by opening our doors with unprecedented kama‘aina rates and special offers across the property. This year, we are particularly excited to invite our extended ‘ohana, as we have just completed a floor-to-ceiling transformation. Our kama‘aina guests will be amongst the first to enjoy the re-imagined sanctuary of our guest rooms and rejuvenated amenities.” The guest rooms have undergone a phenomenal transformation.

is neutral, sand tones, to feel open and airy. The saturated color on sofa pillows and accents on the headboard brings the natural landscape and surrounding views into the room.” The bulky furniture is gone, giving these generously sized guest rooms even more space. The new full size couches in the room are comfy, welcoming for staying with the ohana. As an added bonus they convert into pull out beds for even more lounging and sleeping. Drawers have been added to the bathroom nook creating a dressing area, and closets redesigned with women in mind. The coffee bar has been updated with a personal Nespresso coffee machine. The rooms have new technology, including 65-inch flat screens. The design had such an impact on me that I took notes on refreshing my own living space. “I’m sure you saw the large TVs and the sophisticated technology package,” says Nichols. “That is obviously a large part of it as well. Lighting was integrated into headboards, we have convenience outlets, making sure the room felt very sophisticated and current. We worked closely with Julie Cline–she created an incredible art package for these rooms. Cline originally curated the collection you see around the hotel, and guests are still talking and calling her about those pieces. We wanted contemporary and bold in the artwork, and Cline found curated pieces that had an incredible regional influence.” Don’t get too comfortable in the room, because there’s lots to see outside. Four Seasons has a gamut of complimentary activities for your stay. The Kids for All Seasons program has energetic and fun adventures for the keiki like tidepool exploration and gecko hunting. The beach and pool have everything you need, from sunscreen to cool spritzing, as well as attendants to set up cabanas, umbrellas or your own personal seaside retreat. “We’re proud to offer our guests a meaningful list of complimentary extras, and to maintain our position as the only resort on island that does not charge a resort fee,” says Wietzel. “There are 64 complimentary cabanas across the property, hourly amenities across three pools, an array of fitness classes, use of tennis courts, a family games room, snorkeling for up to an hour daily and even introductory in-pool scuba classes. The list goes on and on, so guests can truly experience more when they choose Four Seasons.” The spa and salon is an exquisite use of time while on property.The therapists are very knowledgeable about the latest products and treatment technology.They have an outstanding eucalyptus steam room, and a full menu of cutting edge treatments.

This Saturday, Dec. 3, the resort is also hosting a Patz & Hall wine dinner with founder Donald Patz, who’s visiting from Napa. A fivecourse menu paired with Patz & Hall wines at Ferraro’s is $165, and reservations can be made at 808-874-2201.

Shoshona and Brian Zisk
M
aui is a magnet for creative types, and our own local community rallies around a lot of talented musicians. But how can our artists reach other audiences, hone their careers and be creative? One method is to exploit technology and the internet. That’s what Brian and Shoshona Zisk are doing. “Saturday, Dec. 10 is Maui MusicTech Day, which we are doing for the community and it’s part of the longer Maui MusicTech Conference,” says Shoshona. “Maui Tech Conference is an offshoot of the SF MusicTech Summit that we do in San Francisco. We have done that 18 times. We have also done a conference called the future of money six times. We have done a lot of conferences. We just concluded the last SF MusicTech in San Francisco in October in Japantown. There were about 1,000 people out for it.” “It’s the top conference in the world where people around the internet and music distribution and promotion come together,” says Brian. “It’s all the big companies and all the artists. Now we have moved to Maui and we love it here. Our goal is, as things get more difficult for musicians how do we build this ecosystem where people can figure out how to keep making music and make money, too. In some ways the internet has been really bad for music and in some ways the internet has been really good for music.” The Maui MusicTech Conference will be held over four days starting Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Royal Lahaina Resort in Ka‘anapali. It kicks off Hawaiian style with a luau on Thursday, and the list of speakers has names from familiar internet players like Amazon and Pandora, as well as other startups like LyricFind, Rage On! and Massive Act. Phil Tripp, who handles recruiting from Hawaii for SXSW, will be presenting on Saturday. “I’m lucky to handle the creative content movers and shakers of the Pacific with over 750 attendees from my three territories heading over to SXSW’s 31st year,” says Tripp. “But here in Maui, I’ll be speaking to local artists and MusicTechnology creators about how to use international trade shows, conferences and
events to jump-start your careers ‘off-islands’ through networking and media opportunities. It’s time Maui had its own major global music tech event. This first year’s series of days not only brings in the high-level overseas and mainland thought leaders for major seminars but also has a full program Saturday, Dec. 10 for a specially priced locals’ day. SXSW started as a low-key local event in 1987 and is now the world’s biggest and most dynamic set of creative content conferences and festivals. I hope that Maui MusicTech emerges to serve as a pivot for homegrown talent to transport themselves into overseas markets.” Maui MusicTech features tech, business strategy and career building, online presence, networking and much more packed into the day for just $30. Other highlights will be an interview with Shep Gordon and a finale party with Kanekoa. “It used to be if you wanted to play something for me we had to be in the same room with a disk, hopefully not scratched,” says Brian. “Now you can call it up on a device, send it to someone. Our daughter, for part of our $15/mo subscription, can hear any music any time unlimited as long as the phone is charged. There are good things and bad things. Its problematic that you cannot get signed to a label and plan to sell a million CDs. That just doesn’t happen anymore. At the same time for smaller artists you don’t have to make a thousand CDs and have 750 of them sitting in your bedroom forever. If you can make some money on the internet that is great.” Maui MusicTech conference will feature advanced discussions, top executives and networking activities Dec. 8-11. Tickets are $999 and Kama‘aina rate is $499, register at Mauimusictech.com. Maui MusicTech Day happens on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 1-9pm. It will feature afternoon education sessions and an evening party with live music.

P
ictures tell our story better than words ever can,� Pipeline Master Gerry Lopez once said about surfing.Yes and no.Yes, the camera best captures the rainbow spectrum of translucent green-blues, the wafting sea mist, the taut muscles, the thousand-yard stares and the cavernous barrels. But it’s the more ancient medium of words that allows us to penetrate deeper into the myths of surfing, deeper into the proverbial tube of life, deeper into that sacred philosophical space we all seek. In Barbarian Days, William Finnegan has delivered the surf literary equivalent of the wave of a lifetime at Tavarua. You could never catch that wave in Fiji without decades of preparation, and Finnegan could never have written this book without a life fully lived. This Pulitzer prizewinning masterpiece is the stoked, vigorous and mature surf memoir the Hawaiian sport of kings has been waiting for. Surf stoke seizes Finnegan in Southern California in the mid 1950s, at the height

of the Gidget-fueled Malibu craze for stylish longboarding. We follow the young man through rebellious days in California, and through middle school in Kaimuki as he rumbles his way through a more traditional, more racist and more segregated midcentury Hawaii. Finnegan evolves through childhood, adolescence and young adulthood, but always through the prism of surfing. In 1978 he goes AWOL from UC Santa Cruz and ends up car camping in West Maui with his friend and girlfriend, ravenous for the transcendental tubes of Honolua Bay. This chapter is especially sweet for Maui lovers, as we meet Westside legends like Les Potts, catch a view of Lahaina in the late 1970s and watch Finnegan as he tries to make his way in this remarkable outer island society, just as we all do. Finnegan is insatiably curious, naturally courageous and sometimes foolish. Whether he’s paddling into the middle of the ocean at sunset to surf a razor sharp reef in Tonga, parting with his teenage girlfriend to solo travel through Eastern Europe or hurling his 44-year-old body into death slab waves on Madeira, Finnegan pushes limits. As Pipe Master Derek Ho said, “You gotta take a few to make a few.� Finnegan charges, he wipes out, but he scores life-enhancing rides. He does it all, in the water and out. This memoir is surf-centric, written by a waterman about his love of water. But Finnegan is fascinating precisely because his passion for surfing is at times tortured. He wants to please his accomplished parents, engage in socially relevant issues and, perhaps more than anything, write with passion and purpose. As his career unfolds, he shifts from writing fiction to reporting on injustice, oppression, slavery and black markets in Sudan, Somalia, Mexico and El Salvador. He becomes a writer for the New Yorker, and he roams the planet in search of stories worth telling as much as waves worth riding. In sum, this is the story of a surfer’s life examined. The reckoning is true, the story is riveting and the life is bigger than fiction. For surfers and those who love them, buy and read this book. You should also see him when he appears at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center on Saturday, Dec. 3, as part of the Merwin Conservancy’s Green Room. ■editor@mauitime.com For more A&E news, visit: mauitime.com/entertainment

Film
by Barry Wurst II
'Moana' The new animated adventure is very Hawaiian, but also very Disney ★★★★★ Rated PG/ 103 Min.
A
t last, the Disney movie with Hawaiian ties, themes and characters has arrived. Despite the intentions to be progressive in character development and authentic in its depiction of Polynesian culture, history and mythology, it’s still definitely a Disney creation. Like The Princess and the Frog, the efforts to be different sport mixed results. The story concerns Moana, the daughter of a Polynesian chief, who displays an adventurous spirit and yearns to explore the ocean. Her father forbids it but Moana’s encouraging grandmother and the spirits of her ancestors nudge her to find her true calling beyond her island home. As gorgeous as the introductory scenes are, offering a refreshing depiction of Polynesian island life, the first act of Moana is business as usual. Moana’s restless nature and her uneasy relationship with her father is right out of The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas. Moana’s embracing her uncertain destiny feels like Mulan and a bit of Beauty and the Beast. Her adorable animal
sidekicks are, likewise, cute and funny but overly familiar. The Disney animation story formula is working overtime here. The stranger Moana gets, the better it becomes. Once Dwayne Johnson’s demigod Maui becomes a central character, the movie takes off. His performance, both comic and touching, is the film’s best. There’s a hilarious battle with pirates who sport a bizarre appearance (the scene feels like an elaborate parody of Waterworld). A sequence depicting an underwater world has vibrant, surreal visuals and a funny vocal performance by Jemaine Clement as a villainous crab (though his one song is a real dud). The big climax and its glorious resolution offer knockout visuals that match and surpass most live action fantasies this year. When the focus is on the rip roaring action and creating the scope of the film’s fantastic world, Moana never steers wrong. Despite the careful research and contribution of experts on Polynesian culture, Moana can’t escape seeming like an old product given a shiny new look. At one point, Maui notes that Moana is obviously a princess, as she’s the daughter of a king and has an animal sidekick. It’s a funny line but he’s absolutely right. We’ve seen this before so much, a char-
This is wonderful, but I'm not listening to any timeshare pitch
acter in a Disney movie is now commenting on his co-star’s Disney-esque qualities! There are a few songs that induce chicken skin but the problem with the musical numbers is that there’s too many of them. The composers are Mark Mancina, Opetaia Foa‘i and Hamilton superstar Lin-Manuel Miranda, who have created a stack of busy, wordy songs that sound ready for the inevitable Disney’s Moana: The Musical on Broadway. On film, the songs are so frequent, they sometimes feel like an interruption rather than an enhancement. I love “We Know the Way” and the reprise of “How Far I’ll Go” but other songs aren’t as memorable or catchy. First timer and Oahu resident Auli‘i Cravalho voices the title role and her performance is among the most impressive film debuts of the year. Moana is a demanding character, both in the emotional and vocal
requirements, and Cravalho nails it. Johnson is to this movie what Robin Williams is to Aladdin. His work is so special, I can’t imagine his wonderful character taking shape as perfectly without him. There’s also the moment where Maui swings into action and declares, “It’s Maui Time!” Mahalo for the free publicity, Dwayne! I scanned the end credits for local talent. Oahu-based Dr. Vilsoni Hereniko is credited as a consultant. Actor Branscombe Richmond is a vocal contributor. But the best local connection I could find happened early into the movie: in the opening scenes, we see a cluster of Polynesian children listening to stories. I could hear a gasp from a group of children in the movie theater, as, for the first time, they were seeing a representative of themselves on the big screen. It was a beautiful thing to hear. ■

Horoscope
Sign Language SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
When you’re finally left alone to do your own thing, you’re kind of sad. It’s too bad people listened so well to what you were saying. Well, now you’ve got what you said you wanted: freedom to pursue your goals without interference. Well? What are you waiting for? No one’s standing in your way. You’re free. What? Maybe that’s not exactly what you wanted? Maybe it’s no fun getting where you’re going if there’s no one to accompany you, or at least watch? If you feel you must push people away this week, be careful about how hard you shove. They may go further than you wish, and retrieving them from there’ll be a bitch.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
I have this utter compulsion to share everything (and everyone) I enjoy. Subconsciously I believe that they’ll love what and who I do. Rationally, I know that’s ridiculous, especially given my taste in highly original friends. Nevertheless, I’ve optimistically organized countless parties populated by people who mixed as well as oil and water, or forced my buddies to endure experiences I should’ve known they’d despise, just because I couldn’t wrap my head around our essential differences. Don’t make the same mistake. Your intentions are good, but not appreciated–at least not by these people. If you want them to stick around, chill out. You can still enjoy the thing(s) you were so eager to share–by yourself.
QUIZ understood

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
If there was ever a time that was well-suited to forthright directness, it’s now. If you can’t say it without bullshit or equivocation, there’s no hope for you. Just spill it. Be boldly honest, even if it makes you sound a little like an asshole. If it’s real, it’ll work out. I know it flies in the face of your overly-cautious instincts. Your self-editing mechanisms will resent being turned off. But there are some things that tact and diplomacy just can’t accomplish. When you need to get some important shit done, you’ve got to speak from the heart, the gut, even the crotch–anywhere but your hyper-analytical head.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Some bats screw during hibernation season. The winged mammals sleep through most of the winter, only waking occasionally to drink, and to mate. When a male awakens he helps himself to various comatose females before he settles back into sleep the rest of the winter. So it’s the lot of the lady bat to go to sleep a virgin and wake up pregnant. You might feel similarly surprised this week. However, minor crimes against you are likely to be perpetrated while you’re not paying attention. Don’t focus on revenge, though. It won’t work. Do what you need to do to escape with minimal harm.
tattoos by Rachel G
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
I don’t think you’re naturally masochistic, but sometimes you put yourself in situations where you simply collect rejections like candy on Halloween. You know, rationally, that your methods aren’t likely to yield success, yet you insist on plugging away with them, anyway. Take a step back. Putting your nose the grindstone may eventually get you somewhere. But there’s an easier way, one which involves a much more selective and thoughtful application of your energies. Use that brilliant mind of yours to stop punishing yourself and start getting somewhere, instead. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
The beaten path isn’t for you. Even when you try to follow it, you end up tripping and falling off a cliff. Your route is not the one that’s tried-and-true. For better or worse, you’ve got to forge your own unique way to your destination. This is hopeful, though, not a cause for despair. You suck at following others’ footsteps. And anyway that almost never works, even for the people who are good at it. Doing things “the way they’re always done,” just isn’t the right way for you, no matter what people tell you. So if you’re on the 10lane highway, get off it now. Start bushwhacking. It’ll feel right in a way the interstate never did–you’ll see. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Some seeds only sprout after a hard frost, or a forest fire. Sometimes a struggle is just what you need. Without it, you’re never pushed to crack open the resources or parts of yourself capable of greatness. This is why you always put yourself into challenging situations; it’s your route to personal evolution. However, don’t take this as a mandate to keep doing things exactly the same (difficult) way. Your struggles shouldn’t be repeating themselves. If you keep revisiting the same challenge, it’s because you haven’t figured out what you’re supposed to get from it. Hopefully, this week should present you with a new contest. If it doesn’t, figure out why. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
When I moved in, the walls of my apartment wore 7 layers of wallpaper and paint. It was difficult to describe the place without using the words “dingy” and “run-down.” Stripping the walls and soaking them with a fresh coat, however, made it something entirely different. You, too, have recently moved in somewhere that’s not exactly the homey haven you imagined and hoped for. It could be, though. Your job, this week, is to determine exactly how much energy and time you’d need to transform it. Then you can decide whether it’s worth it to stick around.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
There’s very little you can’t do. But let’s face it: just because you’re capable of something doesn’t mean you enjoy it. This week it’s important to make the distinction: are you doing something because it pleases others, or because it pleases yourself? A lot of Leos get into this trap of doing shit because it earns them praise and admiration. That’s not entirely a bad thing, and certainly not a reason to stop, necessarily. But I think it’s important to find something you’d do whether anyone else praised you (or even noticed) or not–and this week is the right time to start doing, at least part-time, exactly that. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
I spent about an hour singing your praises tonight. Once I got started, I just couldn’t stop. I love Virgos. You sure don’t have it easy. The problem is, you often make things look so easy–accomplishing more with one hand than any two of us could do with our whole bodies. Many people don’t appreciate how much effort it actually takes. This week is a good time to gently clue them in. If you do it sweetly and without a built-in guilt trip, my solo song of praise will almost instantly blossom into a full-on choir. Now, doesn’t that sound fantastic? LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Your prince(ss) in shining armor won’t come galloping up on a magnificent white stallion to rescue you from your problems. You know this. So why do you think they might get dragged in, unconscious, by the trawling nets you’ve cast into the ocean in all directions? I like the idea of you being proactive, but do you really want the kind of limp fish you’d catch that lame way? If they’re stupid or desperate enough to fall for the kinds of weak efforts you’ve recently put forth, they’re not going to impress you in the long run. The “prey” you seek is exceptional. Your methods ought to be, too.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Scorpios don’t take much downtime. Certainly you don’t get to hibernate the way any beast sharing your proclivities probably would. But you usually poop out around now, when opportunities to indulge your whims and wiles are more available than at any other time of year. Something about the winter chill drags you down. In this case, your internal rhythms are ever so slightly out of whack. Dig deep and find a second (or third, or fourth) wind and run with what’s happening. Watch carefully; the frenzy of potential fun and intensity will ebb in a few weeks. Postpone your coma nap until then. To contact Caeriel send mail to sign.language.astrology@gmail.com
