MauiTime’s Changing Maui: Mahi Pono series investigates Mahi Pono, Maui's largest private landowner
[MauiTime first broke the story of the sale of Alexander & Baldwin’s old sugarcane lands in November 2018. Our ongoing Changing Maui: Mahi Pono series investigates the new owners of these massive land holdings and the changes they will bring to Maui. It is part of Changing Maui, a larger series on the changes facing Maui County.]

et another corporate entity has manifested in the unfolding Mahi Pono saga, only this time, there’s an actual farmer involved. Why is he there? What will he be doing? The answer is currently as opaque as most everything surrounding the new mainland owners of Alexander & Baldwin’s former sugar cane fields. The farmer is Ceil Howe III, 45, and he’s listed as a manager of Mahi Pono Holdings, a subsidiary wedged between Pomona

Farming and Mahi Pono on the growing corporate tree of business entities established by the marriage of Pomona, a California investment group (and subsidiary of Trinitas Partners) and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), one of Canada’s largest investment managers. The fact that there is a Mahi Pono Holdings suggests that there may be future Hawai‘i real estate to add alongside

JANUARY 17, 2019
Mahi Pono LLC. Mahi Pono Holdings was registered on December 24, four days after Mahi Pono purchased Alexander & Baldwin’s 41,000 acres of ag land and 15,000 acres of watershed for $262 million, or about $4,700 per acre. The State of Hawai‘i business registration website lists Howe as a manager, along with Mark Drouin and Christian Bonneau. Drouin is Managing Director and Head of Natural Resources at PSP Investments. Bonneau is listed as “Senior Director— Natural Resources” at the company, which invests the pension funds of Canadian federal workers, such as the Canadian Royal Mounted Police. It’s understandable why they would be included as managers – after all, it’s PSP money that bankrolled the A&B land acquisition. Howe’s involvement, however, is less clear cut. He is a third-generation member of a prominent Kings County, California farming family who owns Westlake Farms, once one of the largest agricultural operations in the county. The Howes are considered to be a founding family in that region, and their farm is located near Kettleman City, at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley on the edge of the Tulare Lake Basin. (The story of Tulare Lake, fed by four rivers, is one of epic environmental malpractice. Once the largest body of freshwater west of the Mississippi River, it often grew to an area of some 700 square miles after spring runoff from the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. However, beginning in the mid-1800s, booming agricultural water use led to the creation of dams, levees, canals, and other irrigation methods that effectively dried up the lake and devastated its ecosystem, which included massive wetlands. These days, Tulare Lake only reappears in the dry basin when there is flooding from heavy winter snowpack melt. In today’s drought-ridden California, that means almost never.) Howe’s LinkedIn page lists him as the chief operating officer of Westlake Farms,
a “partner” at Pomona Farming, and a business owner in C&J Farm Management. He’s also described in Trinitas Partners’ literature as its “Director of Farming.” In Kings County, Howe has served as a trustee for the Central Union Elementary School District and as a member of a local water board. Currently he sits on the advisory board for Waterfind USA, an offshoot of an Australian company that creates trading markets for water rights. I tried unsuccessfully to contact Howe this week, personally and through Westlake Farms, where no one ever answered the phone. When I emailed my query about Howe’s duties at Mahi Pono Holdings to newly-named Mahi Pono Vice President of Operations Shan Tsutsui, he replied that Howe will be “helping put the local farming team together.” Tsutsui did not respond to a subsequent request to interview Howe. I would have contacted Howe’s bosses at Trinitas/Pomona, Ryon Paton and Kirk Hoiberg, but they have remained elusive, despite Paton’s statements in a corporate video vowing “a commitment to transparency and accountability from the top to the bottom.” So it’s unclear what Howe will bring to the Mahi Pono effort, although – judging from his resume – water issues would be strongly suggested. As for Howe’s family farm, Westlake, it’s been a bumptious history, according to articles in trade publications and newspaper stories. Westlake Farms once encompassed some 60,000 acres, many devoted to growing cotton. In 2001, according to an article in the Western Farm Press, the Howes abruptly decided to stop growing cotton, and, in the course of a year, went from one of California’s biggest cotton producers to growing none at all. Howe’s father thought there was too much uncertainty in the cotton market and had no desire to partner with any financiers to mitigate the circumstances. His decision was regarded as profoundly wise when cotton prices subsequently plummeted.
But that didn’t mean the farming operation thrived. In the post-cotton aftermath, 65 of the farm’s 80 employees were let go. Much of the land remained fallow and/or unfarmable and the family’s subsequent action in 2001 involved – literally – a really shitty idea. The Howes sold 14,500 Westlake acres to the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County for $27.4 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. The idea was to build a plant that would mix treated L.A. sewage with green waste (such as wood chips) to create compost that Westlake would then use to fertilize crops on the 12,000 acres it leased back from the new owners (for $300,000 per year). In the deal’s aftermath, several local environmental groups sued Kings County for not considering air quality impacts and argued that the plans violated some parts of the California Environmental Quality Act. That case was settled. The Howes initially made the deal anticipating that it would save Westlake Farms some $1 million a year on conventional fertilizer when the new “poo-tilizer” started flowing. However, lengthy delays plagued the project and, when it finally became operational in 2016, the output was a fraction of the original projections. The Howes filed suit to unwind their sale to the L.A. County Sanitation District. The status of that lawsuit is unknown. Westlake shrank further, the Times reported, by selling more land to solar power developers “and others.” A 2016 article in the Hanford Sentinel stated that only 4,000 acres of pistachios, almonds, wheat, and alfalfa were being farmed at the once immense agricultural operation. Those familiar with the family suggest that, given Westlake’s shrinkage, Howe is looking to expand his career options through Trinitas/Pomona, and now, apparently with Mahi Pono. ■ editor@mauitime.com For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

PHOTO COURTESY TULSI GABBARD FLICKR
Coconut Wireless
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
TULSI GABBARD RUNS FOR PRESIDENT Hawai‘i’s beloved but enigmatic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-2nd Congressional District) has entered what’s shaping up to be a packed (and drawn out) Democratic presidential primary race for the chance to go toe-to-toe with Trump in 2020. Gabbard’s unofficial announcement came on Friday’s Van Jones Show on CNN following months of speculation. “I have decided to run and will give a formal announcement next week,” she told the host to the crowd’s applause, after being pressed on the question of her candidacy. The statement came following two weeks of lukewarm press for Gabbard, including an unflattering piece in the The Intercept about her ties to Hindu nationalist groups and a tiff with Hawai‘i’s Sen. Mazie Hirono. The Jan. 5 article in The Intercept, titled “Tulsi Gabbard is a Rising Progressive Star, Despite Her Support for Hindu Nationalists,” identified the domestic progressive ideas espoused by Gabbard, but questioned her connections to authoritarians (especially Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but also Sisi and Assad) and Hindu nationalists. “Dozens of Gabbard’s donors have either expressed strong sympathy with or have ties to the Sangh Parivar – a network of religious, political, paramilitary, and student groups that subscribe to the Hindu supremacist, exclusionary ideology known as Hindutva,” Soumya Shankar wrote for The Intercept, citing its analysis of Gabbard’s financial disclosures from 2011 until October 2018. “At least 105 current and former officers and members of U.S. Sangh affiliates, and their families, have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Gabbard’s campaigns since 2011.” Days after the Intercept article, Gabbard penned an op-ed for The Hill, titled “Elected leaders who weaponize religion are playing a dangerous game,” which was interpreted as throwing shade at Hirono for the senator’s questions directed to Trump’s U.S. District
Court nominee Brian Buescher. The questions included whether Buescher would recuse himself in a case related to abortion and whether he intended to end his membership in the Knights of Columbus Catholic organization to avoid an appearance of bias. “We must stand together, and with one voice condemn those who seek to incite bigotry based on religion,” Gabbard wrote in the op-ed, adding “While I oppose the nomination of Brian Buescher to the U.S. District Court in Nebraska, I stand strongly against those who are fomenting religious bigotry, citing as disqualifiers Buescher’s Catholicism and his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus.” Since (unofficially) announcing her candidacy, Gabbard’s reception has continued to be mixed. Of note, her past opposition to LGBTQ+ rights has been problematic to many. “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,” Gabbard is quoted as saying in a 2004 Star-Bulletin article. “As Democrats we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists,” she added. “I grew up in a very, kind of, conservative household... and held views growing up that I no longer hold,” Gabbard said regarding her LGBTQ+ record in a December visit to New Hampshire. “I saw first hand the destructive effect of having governments who act as moral arbiters for their people and that caused me to really deeply reflect and be introspective on the values and beliefs I had grown up with.” In a statement to CNN, she added to her defense: “I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to help work toward passing legislation that ensures equal rights and protections on LGBTQ+ issues… if elected President, I will continue to fight for equal rights for all.” In any case, this is just the beginning, and it seems Gabbard’s up for the fight. “Tulsi is under attack,” began her latest ad on Facebook and Twitter. Yup, we’re in for a wild year, folks.
‘DEDICATED TO THE TWENTY-TWO BRAVE PEOPLE WHO TOLD THEIR STORIES OF PAIN AND SURVIVAL’ Last week, the Hawai‘i State Commission on the Status of Women and the Arizona State University Office of Sex Trafficking Intervention released a report on sex trafficking in Hawai‘i. It’s the second in a series examining sex trafficking within the state, and follows the first, released in September, which revealed an “astronomical” online demand for prostitution in Hawai‘i. The latest report, Sex Trafficking in Hawai‘i: The Stories of Survivors, adds to the troubling body of knowledge and seeks to “build a foundation of knowledge about the sex trafficking experiences among girls and women in Hawai‘i” in order to clarify efforts for change. “Documenting the narratives of actual victims allows us to deepen our understanding of interlocking systems of oppression and violence within our communities,” the report states. However, research on sex trafficking has been complicated by the hidden nature of the industry and “the secrecy, shame, and stigma associated with disclosing experiences of prostituting.” Still, researchers were able to interview 22 individuals (15 women identified as being a sex trafficking victim in Hawai‘i and seven as “parents, close family members, or guardians of a child who was a victim of sex trafficking in Hawai‘i”), then used their findings to identify a number of common themes, implications, and potential interventions. The full report remains unreleased as it’s being edited to protect interviewees’ identities, Hawai‘i State Commission on the Status of Women Executive Director Khara Jabola-Carolus told me, but the 13-page executive summary is available online. In short, the report finds that Hawai‘i’s victims and survivors of sex trafficking come from disruptive childhoods “permeated with sexual abuse, substance/drug and alcohol abuse, and violence.” Many were recruited and groomed while still children (average age 14.7-years-old), mostly by close acquaintances. The stories of the survivors reveal extreme physical and emotional torture, the effects of

which have endured into the victims’ adult lives.Yet, law enforcement has not been effective in keeping victims safe. A number of victims reported that law enforcement officers were unable or unwilling to intervene, and in some cases, cops themselves were sex buyers. Systems of support including health care professionals and school personnel were also ineffective in many cases, often failing to identify trafficking victims. The limited availability of other services addressing “dating violence, domestic violence, neglect, substance and alcohol abuse, and sexual abuse” further contributed to the cycle of abuse faced by survivors. Hawai‘i also faces unique challenges. Historically, the report states, human trafficking is intertwined with the commodification of land and bodies in Hawai‘i since the settling of European and American sailors, soldiers, and plantation owners. Geographic isolation has also meant social isolation for victims, worsened by the local value of not bringing shame to the family. This is reflected in the data, which shows overrepresentation of Native Hawaiian women and girls. The pattern can be linked to the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, and the resulting “land dispossession, exposure to sexual violence, hypersexualization, incarceration, cultural dislocation, intergenerational trauma, mental and emotional distress, racism, poverty, and ongoing inequities,” the report states. In the end, the report includes interventions identified by the trafficking survivors, including establishing peer support services, involving religious and cultural leaders to address stigma and other predisposing factors, strengthening the family, increasing training about sex trafficking, providing resources to trafficking victims, funding early intervention services to address risk factors such as substance and alcohol abuse, increasing education for medical and school personnel, enhancing laws, encouraging prosecution of sex buyers and traffickers, and exposing corruption among police and judicial professionals who participate in prostitution and sex trafficking. The report also identifies two goals for the state legislature: First, institute sexual abuse and trafficking prevention intervention training for students in public schools, starting with funding the Erin’s Law Task Force to recommend an appropriate curricula; second, appropriate funds for a public awareness campaign. You can report suspected trafficking to the Hawai‘i Department of Human Services Child Trafficking Reporting hotline at (808) 832-1999. “Nearly six attempts on average were needed to exit sex trafficking,” the report states. Supporting victims “will take a special group of people who are well trained, have strong clinical guidance, and believe that this group of victims matter.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers

WHALE COUNT PROCEEDS DESPITE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
WESTIN NANEA TAKES LEED The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas is now officially one of the most eco-friendly resort properties on Maui, receiving the GOLD New Construction Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The LEED rating system was specifically designed by the U.S. Green Building Council to guide the development of more sustainable buildings. It also distinguishes those which have less of an impact on their natural surroundings and provide a healthier environment to its inhabitants. Leadership at the resort pursued this certification as it directly aligns with one of their three core values: to operate responsibly through ongoing sustainability efforts. To adhere to the LEED guidelines and this core value, much thoughtful planning went into the development of the resort, which opened in April 2017. The team effort consisted of numerous experts in design, construction, and sustainability. The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas received high marks for the following LEED categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficient Landscaping, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation and Design Process. The resort’s koi ponds helped contribute to the LEED certification. The ponds were
BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OPENS AT KIHEI ELEMENTARY The Boys & Girls Clubs of Maui opened its first Club-in-School Clubhouse at Kihei Elementary School on Dec. 8. The
BGCM Kihei Dolphins Club is open to students in the third, fourth, and fifth grades starting right after school, Monday through Friday, on school days. In addition to afterschool time, an all-day program will be provided throughout the summer as well. This is the first Club-in-School for BGCM, which has six stand-alone clubhouses located throughout Maui; the concept, however, is a staple for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This is also the first time BGCM has had a presence in the Kihei area. Programs offered include homework assistance, tutoring, STEM/STEAM-based activities, health and fitness programming, and leadership development training. The programs will align with the school’s curriculum to provide a cohesive learning environment for the members. The club was made possible by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant from the State of Hawai‘i Department of Education. This is the first year of the three-year grant-funded project. “We are very excited to be able to open a Club in Kihei,” said Kelly Pearson, BGCM’s CEO. ”We have a very strong leadership team for this project. Our Director of Operations Stephen Bennett, Director of Education Malik Bell, and Kihei Dolphins Club Project Director Kapono Naeole will be working closely with Kihei Elementary School’s Vice Principal Sue Forbes and Principal Halle Maxwell to create a great club environment for the students.” Beginning with the summer 2019 session, a second Club-in-School will be established at Lokelani Intermediate School, which is located adjacent to Kihei Elementary. Summer programs at both schools will be open from 8am-6pm. There is no cost to become a member of the BGCM Kihei Dolphins Clubhouse and participate in all programs. ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

The shutdown of the federal government isn’t stopping Hawai‘i from counting its whales. The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary’s annual Ocean Count will take place as scheduled on Jan. 26, shutdown or no shutdown. This year, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, the national nonprofit partner for the National Marine Sanctuary System, will coordinate Ocean Count. Ocean Count is a community citizen science project hosted every year during peak whale season by Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, which is currently closed due to the shutdown. Instead, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation is stepping in to make sure the count is not interrupted. The count, conducted on the last Saturday of January, February, and March, provides a snapshot of humpback whale sightings from the shoreline. Participants tally humpback whale sightings and document the animals’ surface behavior during the survey. Ocean Count promotes public awareness about humpback whales, the sanctuary, and shore-based whale watching opportunities on O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Hawai‘i island. The Great Whale Count takes place on the same dates on Maui, led by the Pacific Whale Foundation. “Through the support of dedicated volunteers, Ocean Count has provided more than 20 years of data that supplements scientific research and helps monitor humpback whales during their annual migration to the Hawaiian Islands,” said Kris Sarri, president and CEO of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation. “Fewer humpback whales are being observed in the main Hawaiian Islands in recent years, and we don’t know why. Unfortunately, critical sanctuary research that could help us understand these changes is on hold indefinitely due to the government shutdown.” More than 300 volunteers are expected to participate in Ocean Count on Saturday, Jan. 26. Other counts are scheduled for
Feb. 23 and March 30. Ocean Count participants must be registered in advance. Registration can be completed online at Oceancount.org. For information, contact Oceancount@marinesanctuary.org. The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, established in 2000, is the official nonprofit partner of the National Marine Sanctuary System. The foundation directly supports national marine sanctuaries by protecting species, conserving ecosystems, and preserving America’s maritime heritage through on-the-water conservation projects, public education and outreach programs, and scientific research and exploration.
made purposefully deeper than those found at neighboring resorts to assist in water diversion, a key element of the property’s storm management program. “As a tropical location, the island is subject to heavy rains seasonally,” said a spokesperson. “These ponds serve as retention basins with the ability to hold and filter excess storm water runoff from the surrounding area. This helps to protect the fronting coastline from potentially harmful pollutants, so it can be enjoyed by generations to come.” Also recognized is the resort’s use of cutting-edge, energy efficient equipment and technologies – most notably the use of geothermal heat rejection to replace the need for chillers and cooling towers, which emit harmful greenhouse gases and are among the top consumers of water and electricity at resorts. This process provides cool air conditioning throughout the 393-villa resort and saves thousands of gallons of water every day. The 16-acre property’s native and waterefficient landscaping also contributes to its eco-friendly status. More than 75-percent of the plants are native or endemic to the island of Maui (specifically the district of Lahaina), supporting the naturally occurring ecosystem; the landscape requires less irrigation, and reduces potable water usage by 65-percent. Pursuing LEED Gold certification was a collaborative effort among Vistana Signature Experiences, the Westin Nanea Ocean Villas, general contractor Hawaiian Dredging, and the architecture and engineering team led by WCIT Architects. Arup was contracted to guide the process for stakeholders to help analyze the best cost-effective path to certification and to assemble the required documentation. The Westin Nanea Ocean Villas continues to develop educational programs for 2019 around these features and the other LEED recognized efforts.

News Of The Weird REGIFTED? Rakhi Desai of Houston didn’t think much at first of the gift she brought home from a white elephant party in mid-December – a brown stuffed bear with a stitched-on heart. As she looked it over later, Desai noticed the words “Neptune Society” stitched on its foot “and then I started to feel, and it’s almost like little pebbles or rocks” inside, she told KTRK-TV. That’s when it hit her: The bear was filled with someone’s cremated remains. The friend who brought the bear to the gift exchange got it at an estate sale, so Desai called the Neptune Society, hoping to reunite the bear with the family it belongs to, but the organization doesn’t track the bears. However, there is a name on the bear’s tag, and Desai is hoping to find the owner through that. “(T)his bear is very special to somebody and belongs in somebody’s family,” she said.
WEIRD ROUNDUP On Christmas Day, Deadspin.com shared a “verbatim” list from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission of emergency room visits paid by Americans who inserted items into various body parts, and shouldn’t have. An edited sampling: Into the ear: “Popcorn kernels in both ears, ‘feeds her ears because her ears are hungry’”; “Was cleaning ear with Q-Tip, accidentally walked into a wall, pushed Q-Tip into ear”; “Placed crayon in ear on a dare.” Into the nose: “Sneezed and a computer keyboard key came out right nostril, sneezed again and another one almost came out”; pool noodle; piece of steak; sex toy. Into the throat: mulch; “Swallowed a quarter while eating peanuts”; plastic toy banana. And finally, into the rectum: “Significant amount of string”; cellphone; Christmas ornament ball; “Jumped on bed, toothbrush was on bed and went up patient’s rectum.”
LIKELY STORY Vanessa Elizabeth Helfant, 38, of Knoxville, Tennessee, floated a “dog bites man” defense at her DUI hearing on Dec. 13, arguing that several parked cars struck her on March 25, 2017. The jury, however, didn’t buy her story after hearing evidence: Witnesses at the scene followed Helfant to her destination, and when officers arrived and knocked on the door, Helfant called 911 to report people knocking on her door. WATE reported that she eventually admitted that she had drunk half a pint of vodka and smoked marijuana. Helfant, who had no prior offenses, was convicted and faces at least 48 hours in jail and her license will be suspended for a year.
WHICH WITCH? Tiffany Butch, 33, of Timmins, Ontario, Canada, may go down in history not for her psychic gifts, but for being the last person ever charged in Canada with “pretending to practice witchcraft.” On Dec. 11, Butch, whose nickname is the White Witch of the
North, was charged under Section 365 of the Criminal Code for demanding money in return for lifting a curse. Two days later, that law was repealed. Marc Depatie, spokesperson for the Timmons police force, said Butch gave a customer “a sense of foreboding that a dreadful thing was about to happen to their family...” But Butch denies the charge, saying other psychics framed her. “People proclaimed me a witch here and gave me a nickname, but I’m not a witch. I’m a psychic,” she told CBC News. Butch is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 22.
PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US Asparagus is healthy and delicious. But for 63-year-old Jemima Packington of Bath, England, the columnar vegetable is much more: Packington is an asparamancer, a person who can foretell the future by tossing the spears into the air and seeing how they land. “When I cast the asparagus, it creates patterns and it is the patterns I interpret,” Packington said. “I am usually about 75 to 90 percent accurate.” In fact, out of 13 predictions she made for 2018, 10 of them came true. What’s in store for 2019? Packington tells Metro News that England’s women’s soccer team will win the World Cup; A Star Is Born will win an Oscar; and fears over Brexit will be largely unfounded.
OVERREACTIONS Alarmed neighbors in Perth, Australia, called police after hearing a child screaming and a man repeatedly shouting, “Why don’t you die?!” on Jan. 1, according to the Evening Standard. Multiple units of officers arrived at the property, only to learn that the unnamed man, an extreme arachnophobe, had been trying to kill a spider. His wife confirmed to police that her child had been screaming, and her husband apologized to police for the confusion. The spider didn’t survive.
WEAPON OF CHOICE Rogelio Tapia, 26, was arrested in Des Moines, Iowa, on Dec. 31 after a dispute at a QuikTrip around 3am. The store clerk and witnesses told police Tapia chased the clerk around the store and assaulted him with a banana after the clerk tried to intervene in a domestic situation. According to KCCI, Tapia caused about $1,000 in damage; he was charged with assault and third-degree criminal mischief.
BRIGHT IDEA If super-sharp shears snipping near your ears isn’t enough of a rush, you might want to visit Madrid, Spain, and the salon of Alberto Olmedo, who uses ninja swords and blowtorches to cut hair. Claiming his approach is inspired by Renaissance tradition, Olmedo told Euronews that swords allow a hairdresser to cut hair from both sides of the head at once, resulting in a more even finish. He started perfecting the skill when he became “disillusioned with scissors.” Olmedo also offers a cut with claws worn on the ends of his fingers, and plans are in the works to bring lasers into his work. ■

e were hiking La Perouse yesterday and saw some folks walking out with blankets, camping gear, etc. We smelled some campfire smoke going in and made a note. Then when we came back after a soak 3 hours later... still smelled the smoke! Investigated to see if the fire was close and noticed some red hot coals and a smoldering end of a big log close to all the kiawe trees. Super windy and as we know not much rain down in Makena. These folks had left a hot fire to the elements! Don’t need any fires to hurt the wildlife and start what would be a devastating fire. We put the fire out (it boiled the water btw) and left without any of our own water. Don’t be stupid, people... ■

THE LAST CUP OF NOODLES? HOW TO COPE WITH MAUI'S CHANGING STYROFOAM LAW BY LANTANA HOKE
12 JANUARY 17, 2019
cilmember Elle Cochran drafted an ordinance called “Restricting the Use and Sale of Single-Use Disposable Plastic Foodware” to target plastic straws, utensils, stir sticks, cocktail picks, lids, and other products, which would require eliminating them and replacing them with better products; that is, compostable alternatives. Her term ran out before the bill could be considered, but it’s likely it will be addressed soon by the new Maui County Council.
a “zero-waste” lead in the community by helping community festivals and events lower their waste production through its Green Events program. Their efforts at the Made in Maui County Festival, the ‘Ulu Festival, Ho‘omau, and many other events have resulted in the diversion of seven tons of waste from the landfill. Five-and-a-half tons of organic waste from these local events have been turned into compost on Maui farms, including O’Colmain’s

t’s ’ finally here: “Foam “ Free Maui,”” as the county has billed it. After years of beefing because it was argued that only styrofoam could hold – well – beef, the measure regulating the use of polystyrene has been implemented. As of New Year’s Eve, polystyrene food service containers are banned for “use, sale or provision” in Maui County after a 19-month phase-in period. Like any change, it has not been without a few growing pains, notably a misunderstanding about whether or not Cup Noodles are allowed (they’re not), but overall, “The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Tamara Farnsworth, division manager of the Environmental Protection and Sustainability Division of Maui County’s Department of Environmental Management. “We have had several people approach us and express their gratitude and enthusiasm. Most of the businesses are adjusting and complying with no major challenges.” This is great news, because it wasn’t a totally easy road, as detailed by Rob Parsons in a November 2018 MauiTime story that was full of juicy details about a pro-styrofoam plate lunch campaign perpetuated by petroleum lobbyists, a split political task force, and a fair amount of disagreement. But more and more, people are understanding the reality of our environmental situation and are willing to do what it takes to address it. As Farnsworth noted, “In light of the urgent global problem of plastic pollution, these types of bans are significant action we can take at the local level to address the sources of excessive plastic waste.” Business owners, and individual consumers of single-use products, still have to make choices about the best products to use, and should also keep an eye on what the future holds so they can be ahead of the curve for the changes ahead. “We can look forward to more legislation regulating single-use disposable plastic items in the near future, because there is no time to waste,” Farnsworth told me. Along those lines, last year, then-Coun-
First: What’s allowed? What’s not allowed? There’s been a very small amount of confusion about what’s allowed and not, with most businesses planning accordingly. The Cup Noodles hiccup means that some businesses are petitioning the county to be permitted to sell their back stock until their supply is cleared. The county has promoted the facts on eliminating the expanded polystyrene foam (EPS, “styrofoam”) via their Foam Free Maui campaign and their website. Businesses have moved to comply. Besides Cup Noodles, the other banned EPS items are food service containers including plate-lunch hinged clamshells, cups, plates, bowls, and serving trays. According to the Foam Free Maui fact sheet, “If food or beverages can be served on or in it and its made of EPS, it’s not allowed.” The exception is raw meat, which can still be sold in foam trays; however, sashimi and poke are not excepted.
What are the best products to use?
Plastic pollution on Kaho‘olawe
In light of this, I spoke with one of Maui’s foremost experts on the “zero waste” movement to understand more about optimal single-use compostable products, the “greenwashing” products that pose as “eco-friendly” but in fact are not, and what the ideal future of real zero-waste looks like. Ashley O’Colmain is a local flower farmer and program director of Huliau Green Events. Since 2016, Maui Huliau Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes environmental literacy, has taken
upcountry farm, Petaloom. Among other things, O’Colmain works to educate vendors at events on the correct products to buy, coaches business owners, and teaches classes on how to host these events. When done right, we can turn single-use products back into soil to regenerate our land, or at least not further pollute it. But it’s important to know the right products to use, as well as what the law looks like now, and where we are most likely headed in the near future.
The county’s informational website about the ban reads, “While it won’t solve all the problems we face with excessive plastic waste, this is a step in the right direction.” Those who want to take a next step can start by knowing the most environmentally friendly single-use product to use. “You want to look for ‘Certified Compostable,’” O’Colmain said. “BPI certified.” Maui Huliau Foundation put together a “Go Green” website with a helpful infographic on what logos to look for. In addition to these products, paper and palm leaf are compostable. “It’s important to know that these products, the clear cups, the PLA, are only compostable in a commercial facility,” said O’Colmain, which Maui currently does not have. “They do end up in the landfill. Things don’t break down quickly or readily in the landfill. But they are not going to leave the same harmful chemicals as plastic, and if
they do end up in our environment, in our ocean or on the side of the road, they’re going to break down faster than plastic and not cause the same harm that plastic does. It’s not a perfect product, but it’s better than plastic.” They also won’t emit harmful greenhouse gasses when they do break down, unlike plastic or polystyrene. Farnsworth echoed that sentiment: “There is currently no industrial composting facility capable of receiving food waste or compostable food serviceware on Maui, or even in Hawai‘i. The County of Maui Recycling Office funded a grant this year for a feasibility study and further research and development for such a facility in West Maui.” That effort, led by Gretchen Losano, is gaining traction: “We are pleased to be supporting efforts in the community for this type of facility in order to ‘close the recycling loop’ locally for food waste and compostable products,” said Farnsworth. Farnsworth had another good argument for compostables, telling me that “It’s important to keep in mind that even though we do not yet have composting capabilities for ‘compostables’ on Maui, products made of non-plastic materials are still the best environmental option because they do not rely on fossil fuels as raw materials. Non-plastics will break down in the environment if not disposed of properly, unlike plastic items which take hundreds of years to decompose.” So, though we do not yet have a commercial composting facility, we have to start somewhere, and certified compostable products will not be washing up on our beaches the same way plastic does. These products can be found at stores all over the island: Sustainable Island Products, Maui Chemical, VIP, Island Grocery, Hopaco, Triple F, and Costco all carry single-use products that are certified compostable.
What to avoid: not banned (yet), just unethical
Final steps: changing our ways and rethinking waste The time is coming when using a single-use plastic fork will be like smoking at a playground or throwing trash out of a car window: Illegal, but beyond that, socially unacceptable because of the harm it causes us all. “Ultimately, people really need to think about what they are throwing away, and where ‘away’ is,” O’Colmain told me. Though it truly does matter if you are using a better product, like certified compostable ware, the best option of all is to simply not use single-use products in your personal life, or even better, in your business. If you simply don’t make it an option, it won’t be an option, and people will have to use reusable products. Moku Roots, a restaurant in Lahaina, is leading the way in this model, providing lunch tins, mason jars, and bamboo sporks on a deposit or buy basis. No one really needs to use a new fork for every meal, or a plastic-lined insulated throwaway cup for every coffee break. Single-use anything is a very modern concept born of a Western consumerist mentality that encourages people to buy (cups, forks, clothes, iPhones, etc) and quickly throw away so that they can buy again (and keep corporations in business). Right now, there are people who do bring their own utensils, bento boxes, water bottles, and tumblers with them when they go out, recognizing that ultimately, we must all change our ways and do away with singleuse culture if we’re to salvage our island, and world. This movement must spread. These changes do spell some inconvenience. But at a certain point, we have to reckon with what true “inconvenience” is with shorelines full of plastic, climate change, and a rising sea level on the horizon. Very soon, each person will have to take responsibility for their own containers and utensils and make it a point to carry chopsticks and a coffee cup if that’s what they will need that day. Infrastructure will have to keep up with this behavior change, and we’ll need sinks and soap for sanitation. If we don’t collectively take responsibility and make these changes, it won’t be pretty. If we use a new plastic fork for each meal, and drink from an 8-oz plastic water bottle each time we’re thirsty, then faded plastic will continue to culminate on our once-breathtaking beaches like sad confetti. Waves at our favorite surf breaks will crest full of junky plastic that was used once and thrown out forever. No one values convenience more than clean beaches or a healthy world. “As a good friend said to me recently, ‘This is go time for the environment,’” said Farnsworth. “We will continue striving to protect ecosystems, other species, and, ultimately, ourselves and future generations.” ■ editor@mauitime.com + @axelbeers For more news articles, visit: mauitime.com/news

It’s important to know and be able to identify what is “Certified Compostable,” because there are a host of products posing as “eco-friendly” but are, quite simply, not. “Greenwashing” is an unethical business practice that takes advantage of consumers and business owners who want to use better products, but aren’t sure exactly what that is. These products are often marked or advertised with terms like “eco-friendly” or “biodegradable.” Much like the term “natural” in food and cosmetic products, these terms don’t signify anything. “Biodegradable doesn’t even really mean anything. It could be plastic; it’s anything that ‘doesn’t last forever,’ which is anything,” said O’Colmain. “There are companies who are trying to trick you into buying things because they want to capitalize on you wanting to do the right thing.” In light of the transition away from harmful products that contain polystyrene and plastic, “We’re really trying to inform people about ‘greenwashing,’” said O’Colmain. There are a whole host of terms that corporations use to make consumers think they’re choosing good products: “Biodegradable,” “superdegradable,” “green,” “eco,” “earth friendly,” “made with recycled materials,” and “produced with plant starch” can all be corporate trickery with
no certifiable standard. In many cases, they are just plastic in disguise. Additionally, there are some products that look like paper or cardboard but sneak in plastic, like dixie cups, “paper” boats, and noodle boxes. All of these should be avoided.

On the Fringe TALKING STORY WITH THE PLAYWRIGHTS BEHIND THE 2019 MAUI FRINGE THEATER FESTIVAL
PHOTO BY FAITH HARDING
the main character or main focus so I decided, I am going to tell a Filipino story. I started going through some local Filipino history and I came across the Hanapepe Massacre. I did not know anything about this. I love it when I come across something I don’t know anything about because if I don’t know it, most of the population might not know it either.” Moniz dug into the background of the story and found Pablo Manlapit, a labor organizer, law clerk, and activist at the time. The Filipino workers were making $1 an hour and working 10-hour days; they wanted an 8-hour day and pay of $2. “You know that work was rough,” says Moniz. “The Japanese had gone on strike earlier and they were successful. The Filipinos were on the bottom of the totem pole. Now that the sugarcane era is over we can look back on that time a little more objectively. The plantations pitted the different races of the workers against each other by putting them in separate camps instead of integrating them. So the Filipinos against the Japanese, the Japanese against the Portuguese, etc. Even to this day some of the remnants of that is still left from the sugar days.” Manlapit helped organize the workers, and the strike was successful on other islands, but escalated on Kaua‘i. Two strike
breakers had been taken hostage. “There are a lot of lies and intrigue and all of that kind of dirty underplay going on between the parties, the factions,” says Moniz. “The sugar barons sent some goons into, along with the police, to try to halt the pending strike. The rest of the islands had gone on strike with Pablo Manlapit and they were moving on to Kaua‘i, but the sugar planters had had enough. They moved in and tried to stop the strike. The workers didn’t have guns, just machetes. When the police came in they deputized a whole bunch of policemen, and they also brought in some sharp shooters. Again they played the races against each other, they brought in the other ethnic groups and gave them rifles. I think eventually they arrested over a 100 people. The National Guard came in on that because the sugar planters had been standing by. It was all pre-arranged.” Randy Noojin’s “Seeger” paints a different portrait of activism in 19th-century America chronicling the folk singer Pete Seeger as he plays a benefit concert to advocate the end of the US-Cuban trade embargo. Noojin saw Seeger perform at a benefit concert at 94-years-old, and it inspired this show. Continued on page 17

ur society loves their blood, sex, and rock-and-roll, and the stories told in this year’s Maui Fringe Festival are no exception. The premier of local playwright Wayne Moniz’s “Cane Fire: The Hanapepe Massacre” will kick off the festival on Friday night. Next up, the musically charged “Seeger” is a one man multimedia show performed by Randy Noojin where he embodies famous folk singer Peter Seeger. Malcolm Grissom is returning to Maui Fringe Festival to premier his production of “Stop Having Zombie Sex,” a sequel to his 2017 hit performance. Saturday, the newly formed OnStage Dance Company will perform for the first time, and winner of the 2017 festival, Kate Robards, is back with a new solo tale, “PolySHAMory.” Michael Pulliam does the hard work of putting the festival together, but it is a labor of love for him. This festival gives room for theater to experiment and for audiences to see unique perfor-
mances explored. “The Fringe always evolves organically,” says Pulliam. “Great plays show up every September and we try to make room for them all. Themes are never sought out, but they emerge. If there is a theme this year it is: What does not kill me makes me stronger. ‘Cane Fire’ and ‘Seeger’ are paired because they both deal with workers rights and civil rights. ‘PolySHAMory’ and ‘Stop Having Zombie Sex’ deal with highly personal sexual journeys and how those individuals became stronger in the end or present. OnStage Dance Company is about creating something from nothing – for the community, by the community. All of these stories are shared through dance, music, words, video projections, and most of all, passion.” Maui playwright and author Wayne Moniz set out to tell a Filipino story, and stumbled across this little known history of a 1924 sugar worker strike that ended in tragedy in Kaua‘i. The project started out as a one-man play script for Virginia Sandell, but morphed into a bigger screenplay which she directs at this year’s festival. “I have written about 14 or 15 plays, most of them produced here,” says Moniz. “I had never written about a Filipino as

storytelling because humor, comedy, and laughter are parts of my spirit. They make me who I am. It’s one of my God-given gifts, and I do it well.” First place winner of the 2017 Fringe Festival, Kate Robards, is back at Maui Fringe from New York. She is excited to be in front of Maui audiences again and looking forward to being in the tropics. “This is my third time performing in Maui,” says Robards. “This show is a big departure from anything else I’ve ever written. Maui audiences have wildly supported all of my other works and I’ve left with awards and true friends and champions. Honestly, the volunteers and audience

Continued from page 15 “As a struggling artist, living in an expensive city where wages are stagnant and the cost of living keeps rising, I’m drawn to character subjects like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie because they were political artists writing and singing great songs for peace, living wages, and equality,” says Noojin. “I got into solo shows because fringe festivals all over the world require simplicity and there’s nothing simpler than solo. Also, it’s very empowering as an actor/writer/musician, to be able to provide a full evening of entertainment dedicated to illuminating an important American activist, through imperson-
can still easily access those emotions. It’s always surprising to me the moments in my show where I hear both laughs and visible gasps or audible tears. And sometimes they all happen in the same scene because every audience is having their own reacting. That’s what I love about theater and solo shows. There’s an intimacy. It’s not just me in the play, the audience members are the other characters because their reactions and responses affect me. I’m an empathetic person and performing is such a visceral experience. I can’t wait to share this show with Maui, especially since I know there will be many audience members who’ve seen what I now realize is a trilogy of solo plays.” The Maui Fringe Festival starts Friday and runs through Sunday, where audiences will have a number of opportunities to see these shows. “What I am most looking forward to, and what I always look forward to, is presenting the type of cutting edge original theater rarely seen on Maui,” says Pulliam. “We have three previous award-winners returning and two world premieres. I’m excited to witness such gifted writers, actors, and performers gracing the Iao stage as one artist’s community for this one marathon weekend. I too have never seen these plays, I’ve only read their words. All in attendance will be experiencing the stories for the first time.” For more information or to purchase tickets go to MauiOnstage.com. ■ jen@mauitime.com + @jenrusso For more A&E stories, visit: mauitime.com/entertainmnet

members I’ve met in Maui have supported me and encouraged me from afar since my first show there. The love is so real. It reminds me of the love I experienced growing up in my small hometown. Plus, Maui is paradise. It’s like living in a screensaver. I currently live in New York city where it’s 31 degrees and I’m wearing everything I own, and I have several space heaters on that will occasionally blow a fuse. Chance to perform in paradise? Yes, please!” She calls her play a sexcapade of exploration and self discovery. Her character, Kate, looks for love from many places and faces, embarking on a journey into polyamory assisted by a poly-therapist and the ethos of the book “The Ethical Slut,” by Janet Hardy, a guide to sustainable polyamorous relationships. “The play is about my marriage that was a sort of Cinderella story but it turned into a nightmare,” says Robards.”All good plays or novels or stories that deal with life truthfully are seriocomic, meaning they combine the serious and the comic. The truth is funny. There’s the old rule that pain plus time equals comedy. And I wrote this play when the feelings were still really raw. Even though time has passed, I

Fringe festivals are fertile ground for his expressive interactive shows. His play “Stop Having Zombie Sex” is a follow up to his 2017 fringe act, “Me, My Song and I.” “Don’t get me wrong, I love laughing and making others laugh,” says Grissom. “It’s a great way to connect with people. However, I wanted more. I wanted to make audiences laugh and potentially change some of their lives or at least give them a chance to explore emotions. This show is an autobiographical account of my struggles with love and sexual addiction and intimacy. When audiences see “Stop Having Zombie Sex”, I want people to have a sympathetic understanding of addiction. I want people to know that it is something that can happen to any of us. One of my motivations for writing and performing stories is to share love and introduce concepts that may be foreign to some. I will always use comedy in my

'Replicas' Almost Works How a not-good movie with a wacky screenplay won over this film critic ★★★★★
Rated PG-13 / 92 Min.
I
PHOTO COURTESY IMDB
n the near future, scientist Will Foster (played by Keanu Reeves) moves the fading consciousness of a recently deceased man into a robot. When the robot “reawakens” as a skeletal machine with a metallic body, it immediately freaks out and rips its head apart. Clearly, Foster has never seen RoboCop and lacks the bedside manner to calm a recently born android. The disturbing opening scene of Replicas suggests a connection to Isaac Asimov’s “Law of Robotics” and effectively borrows some visuals from Minority Report and I, Robot. What follows isn’t nearly as good, as Replicas peaks very early. Later that day, Foster has a conversation with his wife (played by Alice Eve) regarding compassion for human life and whether it’s wise to challenge the limits of science. It feels like an extremely blatant bit of foreshadowing, making the tragedy that occurs just minutes later seem comical, were it not so unpleasant. From there, the movie plays with the ethics of robotics, cloning, and grave robbing. Replicas offers a clumsy rendering of a promising set-up and a waste of some intriguing ideas. The good news is that, at times, it almost works and manages to maintain interest. Most of the film takes place in a single setting, with a race-the-clock angle that manages to generate some suspense. Reeves is an actor I like, whose range and success as an actor has always been debated. With the right role and director (namely in Sam Raimi’s The Gift, Taylor Hackford’s The Devil’s Advocate, Gus Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho and Nancy
Woah!!!
Meyers’ Something’s Gotta Give), he’s terrific. When the casting is wrong or the film itself doesn’t work, Reeves sinks with the ship. His success with sci-fi has some very big peaks (The Matrix and A Scanner Darkly) and valleys (Johnny Mnemonic and The Day The Earth Stood Still). Reeves’ performance here is a work in progress, as he occasionally hits the notes the role requires but mostly fumbles through the movie. In his defense, the role is impossible: He’s essentially playing Dr. Frankenstein, having to seem manic, desperate, insane, grieving, and sympathetic – sometimes all at once. Daniel Day Lewis would have had a hard time with this part; Reeves is really trying but the role is out of his range and demands a much showier
actor. Alice Eve (playing Reeve’s wife) and John Ortiz (as Reeves’ impatient boss) give their supporting turns some heft but they fall short of making their complicated roles entirely plausible. Considering how little action is in this, I’m unsure of why director Jeffrey Nachmanoff (who’s ambitious but in over his head) thought to cast Reeves in the first place. Not helping are frequently nonsensical touches and some truly laughable moments. Thomas Middleditch plays Ed, Will’s lab assistant, but we never understand why on Earth Ed continues to put up with Will and remain a faithful assistant after his boss has clearly gone bananas. Scenes of Reeves clutching a stuffed unicorn for comfort (!) are as

giggle-inducing as they read. So is the bonkers scene where Reeves hides in a men’s room stall and sticks a needle in his eye. Then there’s the double-twist ending, which is so crazy, I’m curious if this would have worked better as a comedy. There are smart concepts here, like considering which memories to delete from a newly created clone. Making a low-key, ideadriven sci-fi, taking place mostly in a two-story house wasn’t a bad idea, but the execution is the problem. Despite good special effects and a willingness to take the premise in wild directions, this winds up a guilty pleasure, like Skyline. Is it a good movie? Absolutely not, but it has some good unintentional laughs and a go-for-broke confidence in its wacky screenplay that won me over. ■

Horoscope
Sign Language CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
You probably feel slightly abandoned and left out in the cold. That’s because you have been, but don’t take it too hard. It’s not that you don’t have supporters, it’s that they’ve dropped the ball on rallying to your aid. They will, eventually – probably as soon as next week. When they do, don’t be bitter and holler at them that it’s too late, and reject their help just because it didn’t come when you could have used it most. They’re likely to have good excuses for not being around when you most needed them. Adopt a better-late-than-never attitude and thank them instead, or next time it will be never rather than late. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
It’s probably hard to tell whether the stars are lining up for you, or if it just seems that way. You wish I’d tell you whether or not to make that big, bold move, the one you think will only work if all the random elements happen to go your way. However, you shouldn’t be waiting for an astrological go-ahead to play a serious game. You should try to hit a home run every time you step up to bat, not just when the winds are blowing in the right direction and the crowd is chanting your favorite cheer. The odds are what you make them, and the level of your determination will decide whether or not you succeed this time, not random chance or astrological fortune. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Pisces can range from wildly high-maintenance to so low-maintenance they’re virtually invisible, often in the same day. What freaks most people out (besides the shocking incongruities you regularly embody) is that they can’t understand how you went from point A, where everything had to be just so or you were going to lose it, to point B, where everything is hunky-dory just the way it is. This week, even if you can’t make the transitions less jarring, could you at least try to explain them to the people who are zigzagging madly just to keep up? ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Anything can be a source of spiritual fulfillment, if you approach it from the right direction and travel deeply enough into it. Some things lend themselves more easily than others to enlightenment, I’d wager, but I’ll also contend that there is no one true path, nor even a finite number of true paths. It could be difficult to make a profound, soulful practice out of shopping at the mall, but I’m certain it’s possible, should you choose. Don’t try to conform to someone else’s path unless it really speaks to you. Instead, really focus on forging your own. You know where you’re going, right? So stop worrying about the precise route it takes to get there. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Once, the more wealth, status, or power you had, the closer you lived to the royal palace. Each echelon of economic status huddled around the next one above it, so you could visually see someone’s place in society by where they lived. Feeling royal, Taurus? People aren’t likely to move their houses and restructure their lives to revolve around you, but they may move ever so subtly in that direction this week. Don’t let your unasked-for virtual nobility go to your head, though. Tyranny won’t get you far. Benevolence, fair-mindedness, and generosity are, naturally, the orders of the day.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
where beach meets fashion
Go give blood. Find unusual ways to share parts of yourself with others. This week, some of your worst qualities may be coming out in force, especially your occasional tendency to be bossy or selfish. The only way to counteract them is to also consciously embody some of your more redeeming traits, especially your warm generosity. You’re already naturally generous to those you love, so this week focus on ways to be openhanded to people you don’t know, and finding new ways to help those you do. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
When things are good, being a Leo rocks. People lavish you with adoration and attention. You respond by being the generous, radiant superstar they expect. When things suck, it’s less fun; without the validation of all that attention, acting like a superstar – generous or otherwise – just makes you seem like an egotistical moron. Don’t you wish there was some way to pocket some of the overflowing brilliance of the good times, so you could let it out during the bad ones? There is. Since this week’s likely to rock, see if you can figure out how to bank some of its delicious goodness for use at a later, less fortunate date. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Don’t let your cleverness be a sticking point. In other words, don’t rub people’s faces in it. They’ll notice it eventually. If someone misses a brilliant joke of yours, don’t repeat it until they acknowledge it. Let it pass unremarked. There’s more where that come from. It’s not often that your ego gets the best of you, but this is one week where it might do just that. Trust that people will ultimately get a handle on who you really are: a modest, smart, and extremely good person. If they don’t get that right away, don’t go out of your way to try to prove it to them; that’s likely to have exactly the opposite effect. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Just shut up. I mean that in the kindest way possible. This week you may have a tendency towards longwindedness, without even noticing. If you’d like to make a good first impression, the less you say, the better. That might feel taciturn and rude, but it probably won’t come off that way – people will tend to interpret your relative silence to mean you’re self-effacing, intelligent, and a good listener. If you blather on, you won’t get the benefit of the doubt all that often; in fact, people will assume you’re a pompous windbag. Neither extreme is especially justified, based on the information given, but if they’re going to go one way or the other, wouldn’t the former be the better way to go? SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
At a party recently, a Scorpio friend of mine and I were cornered by a notorious name-dropper. My sting-wielding friend shut her down by calling over another acquaintance we know who’s unduly impressed with celebrity. “Sharon,” Scorp said, “This is Bill. Bill loves dropping names, too! You two should get along famously. Ciao!” Tact, I learned, is for the weak. Forget it. Calling it like you see it – preferably with charm and a sense of humor, is totally the way to go. Don’t forget compassion as you share the unadulterated truth with people who need to hear it, but don’t let it stop you from imparting important information that people need to hear. They’ll never thank you for it, I promise – but the rest of us will.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Don’t judge. You can’t afford it. Everyone’s a critic, it seems – except you, right now. Your job this week is to let things slide, to bite your tongue and bide your time. There are more than enough critics around, and adding your voice to the mix isn’t likely to generate any significant change, besides pissing off your fellow critics (“What? We didn’t say it right the first time?”) as well as those you’re criticizing (“I know, I know! Quit nagging me!”). I envy you; letting go of your judgments – or at least not expressing them – may not be easy, but if you get the hang of it, it sure is fun.
Leave scorn off the menu, whatever else you decide to bring to dinner. People are likely to be especially sensitive to what you think of them this week, so be at your kindest and most generous, and be willing to give people every benefit of the doubt. There are enough sharp-tongued people shooting others down when they disapprove right now; adding your voice to the mix could push some folks over the edge. That’s not say you’re not entitled to your own honest opinion; I would simply suggest being careful and caring if and when you express it.
