(888) HONOLUA

While walking through Lahaina Town recently—which I normally avoid—a cigarette came flying from above and landed on the street in front of me. It was the careless act of a construction worker on a second story lanai. I then noticed the incredible amount of previous carelessness and was appalled. So much talk is made about preserving the historical beauty of Lahaina. Are mountains of cigarette butts included in the plan? Should the town do something about providing ashtrays for those too inconsiderate to take responsibility for their own habit? Isn’t this considered littering, which I presume is still against the law? Speaking of which, smokers cry about not having any rights. Actually, smokers don’t deserve any rights. They nonchalantly smoke on the crowded streets, dispose of their butts wherever it is convenient for them, and have cost us all billions of dollars in health care. Smoking should be banned in all public places. Smokers only have themselves to blame. How would they feel if I dropped off my garbage in their living rooms?

Calling Carlyle

The imperial Carlyle Group—any company that routinely employs ex-U.S. Presidents, Secretaries of State and British Prime Ministers holds more power than most nations—got one step closer to taking over Hawaii Verizon this week when the State Division of Consumer Advocacy gave the investment firm’s merger plan the seal of approval. Among the “conditions” Carlyle agreed to for the sake of Hawaii consumers: not to ask for a general rate increase until 2009 and not to pass on “transition costs” to customers. Boy, that was a close one. Thought for a moment there that the state might ask Carlyle—which owns numerous defense and intelligence firms around the world—to stop profiting off the “War on Terror.”

Maui County Democrats resolved to end sweatshop procurement Like most people, Shay Chan-Hodges thinks that it’s wrong to pay people pennies a day to make clothes and toys. She thinks it’s awful that those workers are housed in sweltering, often dangerous factories. She thinks its wrong for big-name labels and manufacturers to strip workers of their rights to organize. And she’s sickened by the thought that her tax dollars are purchasing uniforms and other apparel made under such conditions. But unlike most people, Chan-Hodges actually went and did something to stop it. Back in May, when Maui County Democratic Party activists and volunteers were soliciting ideas for the party platform, Haiku-resident Chan-Hodges introduced Resolution Number 39—“Safeguarding the Human Rights of Chinese Workers.” Though dealing specifically with Chinese labor issues, the resolution details the frightful working conditions plaguing textile workers around the world.

Someone’s got to look out for their rights “Whereas, the factories are sweltering, dusty, and damp and workers are fully exposed to chemical toxins and hazardous machines, and suffer sickness, disfiguration, and death at the highest rates in world history,” reads the resolution. “[W]hereas they live in cramped cement-block dormitories, up to twenty to a room, without privacy and face militaristic regimentation, surveillance, and physical abuse by supervisors during their long day of work and by private police forces during their short night of recuperation in the dormitories…” The resolution goes on to outline factory’s notorious anti-union policies, workers’ “minimal access” to attorneys and miniscule wages. But it’s the resolution’s last line that’s directed squarely at local officials. “Be it further resolved,” Chan-Hodges’ resolution states, “That we urge our State and County governments to develop procurement rules that prohibit the purchase of products made with this kind of slave labor.” “I’m of Chinese descent,” said ChanHodges, who’s currently the Democratic Party’s 13th District chairperson and, thus, swamped with work concerning the naming of a replacement for Representative Sol Kaho’ohalahala. “I won’t buy my children toys that were made by other children under inhumane circumstances. That’s too horrible to me. These companies are also outsourcing, which means we’re losing jobs here. That’s going to hurt us in the long term.” The resolution came about because this year, the county Democratic Party took a new approach to crafting a platform. In January, officials asked any party member who wanted to participate for resolutions. Chan-Hodges eventually submitted two—her other dealt with guaranteeing civil rights in elementary schools.

“There was a lot of new blood in the party,” said Chan-Hodges. “I’ve been a member for 10 years, but I had never participated in the [resolution] process before. My husband and I have a six-year-old and an eight-year old, and we work for a living. I was not really planning on participating. But it was a totally open process. All the volunteers were very passionate.” Forty to 50 very progressive but little-publicized resolutions eventually passed, dealing with topics like abortion rights and genetically modified foods. For party leaders and activists, the question now is how to get elected officials to go along with them. MTW

In California, all liquor licensees have to deal with Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC). It’s a state office that has administrative law judges who hand down violations and hear appeals. I can’t imagine anything more boring than having to watch shafted bars and restaurants plead their case before actual judges. The Maui County Liquor Control Board of Adjudication is so much more fun to watch. In fact, their Jan. 6, 2005 Board meeting was a riot. Both Superstops II and III—in Kahului and Lahaina, respectively—were on the agenda for pleading Not Guilty to charges that they got caught in minor decoy sting operations. Yet when their turn came, corporate partner Garth Nakamura sat at the defendant’s table by himself. He said that his company wanted a continuance for at least a month because just two days earlier they found out that neither their attorney nor their general manager—12th District State Representative Kyle Yamashita—would be able to attend the hearing. Without hesitation, Department Director Franklyn Silva and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Angela Hedge said they had no objection to a continuance. The Board wasn’t so forgiving. “Why are they pleading not guilty in a sting operation?” asked Board Member Ron McOmber. “This [delay] is a waste of money in my personal opinion.” The Board went back and forth. McOmber asked Nakamura why he was pleading not guilty, but Corporation Counsel Traci Fujita Villarosa said it was an improper question. Then Board Member Marilyn Chapman made a motion to grant Nakamura’s request. It tied, three to three. As the members at in silence, Chapman said she just remembered that she had to recuse herself. She said she used to run a business that directly competed with Superstop, and she didn’t know if she could deliberate without prejudice. Mere seconds later, McOmber—who had led the charge to refuse any delay—suddenly reversed himself and made a motion that the Board grant a continuance. Chapman, who just got through saying she was recusing herself from the case, seconded it. It passed unanimously. But before Nakamura could leave, Silva interjected, saying he wanted to explain why the department had no objection to a continuance. “We want to give the licensee as much leeway as possible,” he said. Then he leaned back. “Contrary to some beliefs that we’re very strict,” he said, turning around so he was facing yours’ truly, “we’re not really.”

MAUICOUNTY WEDNESDAY, JAN. 5 We don’t normally do this around here, but we’re starting the week off with some good news: Governor Linda Lingle just appointed Lisa M. Ginoza to be First Deputy Attorney General. Yes, that is amazing. Just got the news release today. She must be so proud. Ditto her colleagues at the Honolulu law firm McCorriston Miller Mukai MacKinnon, where she’s worked since 1996. Then again, I can’t believe they’re too surprised. After all, they’re pretty tight with Lingle. Since 2001, the firm and its attorneys have dropped more than $10,000 into her campaign chest. And it’s not like she’s going to have trouble with her new boss, Attorney General Mark Bennett—he hails from McCorriston Miller just like her. “I have known Lisa for many years and worked together with her for more than ten years,” said Bennett in the release. Isn’t it great how everyone gets along?… Speaking of Attorney General prospects, I’ve been noticing lately that Alberto Gonzales, ol’ George W. Bush’s prospect for U.S. AG, is having a bit of trouble, and his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing won’t convene until tomorrow. Now back in our Nov. 18 issue, we ran a letter to Senators Daniel Akaka and Daniel Inouye (“Justice For None”) pleading with them to derail the Gonzales nomination because of his complicity in authorizing U.S. forces to torture prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and Cuba. Well, a couple days ago, the Washington, D.C. group Human Rights First held a press conference to announce that 12 retired generals and admirals—including a former commander-in-chief of U.S. Central Command, Air Force Chief of Staff and Joint Chiefs chairman—had written their own letter to the Judiciary Committee, saying that they had “deep concern” over Gonzales. They wrote that Gonzales’ views

and actions were “on the wrong side of history” and “have fostered greater animosity toward the United States, undermined our intelligence gathering efforts, and added to the risks facing our troops serving around the world.” But hey, international law is “quaint,” remember? Or as the esteemed Supreme Court Justice Harlan Fiske Stone once wrote in a famous majority ruling, “Laws shmaws!” Gonzales is going to be Attorney Fucking General! What does he have to know about laws?

THURSDAY, JAN. 6 Boy, the Maui County Democratic Party sure takes being democrats seriously. Last week 13th District Representative Sol Kaho’ohalahala—who represents East Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kaho’olawe—announced that he was resigning so he could start running the effort to turn Kaho’olawe back into an inhabitable island. And, like most outgoing guys, he named a successor—current Maui mayor’s aide Mele Carroll. Since state law forces Lingle to name a Democrat to replace Kaho’ohalahala, it seemed like a done deal, right? Of course not. Instead of rubber-stamping Kaho’ohalahala’s choice, the party offered a list that included Carroll and eight other possible replacements. I mean, democracy means giving people a choice, right? Unfortunately, this gives Lingle every reason in the world to take her sweet time in naming a new legislator.

FRIDAY, JAN. 7 U.S. Senator John McCain (R, Arizona) has decreed that he thinks the famed Akaka Bill supposedly giving Native Hawaiians the same rights as Native Americans is a bad, bad idea. “When Hawaii became a state there was an implicit agreement at the time that Native Hawaiians would not receive the same status as Native Americans,” McCain said in a speech a couple days ago. Considering that hard-core Native Hawaiians think the bill is rotten because

SUNDAY, JAN. 9 So today Lingle finally comes up with her “multi-step process” to deal with Kaho’ohalahala’s replacement in the 13th District. And yes, I know it’s a Sunday, but the release came in today, so no one can ever say that Lingle doesn’t put in those extra hours when it’s needed. Anyway, Lingle wants “all eligible residents who are interested in serving” to be “fairly considered.” That means interested applicants have until Jan. 19 to submit their resumes to Lingle’s new six-member “initial screening panel.” Each panel member will then chose up to six names. This list—which should consist of no more than 36 names—will then go to another three-member review panel, which will conduct formal interviews. That crew will then submit three names to Lingle no later than the last day of January. After meeting with each of the “finalists,” Lingle will make her selection sometime in the first week of February. Now I know it sounds, well, incredibly complicated, but overall, it’s a reasonable plan, given that no one seems interested in holding a special election.

MONDAY, JAN. 10 it doesn’t give them enough sovereignty, it’s nice to see that two ideologically opposing sides can come together in true bipartisan spirit… By the way, the White House considers the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) to be a “faith-based charity,” according to data recently compiled by the Associated Press. In 2003, the Bush crew doled out $1 billion is U.S. Taxpayer funds to religious groups, and our own HCDCH got caught up in the free-for-all, grabbing over $670,000 in Housing and Urban Development “homelessness grants.”

There was something else that happened earlier this week that I wanted to get to, but I, um, forgot, dude. Anyway, last Wednesday the Congressional Research Service—they write stuff for congressional representatives— released a new report called Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity. The report notes that hemp clothing, oil and food are really catching on around the world. Canada’s apparently really selling the hemp-wear big-time. Today more than a dozen states—including ours, thanks to HB-57, which passed in 2002—are undertaking hemp cultivation research. But don’t get your hopes up—the report notes rather sourly that our government still insists that legal cultivation for clothing will “significantly complicate [the Drug Enforcement Agency’s] surveillance and enforcement activities.”

In December, Rudolph Jessie Hicks Jr., 30, was arrested in Brooksville, Fla., for trespassing, but not before he had gotten up from a police dog takedown, five Taser shots, and an entire can of pepper spray. And police in Port St. Lucie, Fla., were considering whether to charge Ms. Robin Bush, who strangled a 130-pound Rottweiler after it would not let go of her tiny Yorkie. And a 20-year-old man suffered only minor injuries after driving his car through a fifthfloor wall of a parking garage and landing inside the second floor of a store at the Shoppes of Sunset Place in South Miami.

A 59-year-old veteran NASCAR driver from Scottsdale, Ariz., was killed in November when he fell off of a Segway scooter going 5 mph at a Las Vegas go-cart race and hit his head. And in China’s Guangxi Zhuang region in September, five people asphyxiated while conducting a ceremony in a dangerous lead mine—frequently shut down by the government. Among them was a prominent feng shui expert there to advise on improving harmonic energy flow. And in Aliquippa, Pa., in October, a 28-yearold man was electrocuted on his first day at work as an electrician.

Over in Rotterdam, the Dutch retirement home Seniorenpand bills itself as the world’s only old-age community for incorrigible heroin addicts and has a long waiting list for its few rooms, according to a December dispatch in The Scotsman. One satisfied resident bragged that he had some “pretty good stuff” the night before.

In October, as part of the government’s vigorous “social order” anti-drug campaign, dozens of police officers in Bangkok, Thailand, raided the trendy Q Bar late on Saturday night and locked it down, detained the nearly 400 customers, and passed out plastic cups so that each one could submit to an on-the-spot urinalysis. Said the bar’s manager, “(The raid is) pretty much an annual event. It’s a little bit like Christmas.”

A 39-year-old man in Chillicothe, Ohio, was hospitalized in December after an unsuccessful suicide attempt that accidentally blew his own house to pieces and did heavy damage to neighboring homes. The man had turned on the natural gas to kill himself, but then realized that other houses might be in danger, and just as he dashed to the basement to turn off the electricity, the house exploded (probably from an electrical spark) and was leveled. A month before, the man had tried to kill himself with automobile exhaust and a garden hose, but his car ran out of gas before he could die, and he then hooked up a propane tank for the same purpose, but once again, he outlived his fuel supply.

FDR and GWB, adored and reviled “I will never buy Time again.” So swore several of my friends upon hearing that George W. Bush had been named its “Man of the Year.” I explained that the designation is less of an award than a recognition of an individual’s importance, that Henry Luce wasn’t sucking up to Hitler when he named the German tyrant for the same honor in 1938. “This is worse,” one wrote, “because Hitler was merely evil. Bush is stupid as well.”

undermined him, Roosevelt snubbed French resistance leader Charles de Gaulle while extending full diplomatic relations to the Nazi collaborationist puppet regime of Marshall Henri-Philippe Pétain throughout the war. Both FDR and Bush viewed power as most effectively wielded with a bludgeon and as a means to transform the economic order, legal system and even the map of the world to suit their visions. They didn’t care whether the American people, much those who voted against them, agreed with what they did. Their disdain for the people they served allowed them to achieve their goals. MTW

toadies whose longevity of tenure was directly related to their loyalty. Moreover, Bush wasn’t the first leader to corrupt the Supreme Court. When Republican justices stymied FDR’s plans for expanding the New Deal, he proposed increasing the high court’s size—by a number of new justices appointed by him—to neutralize the federal judiciary. That effort failed, but the Court stopped declaring his programs unconstitutional. Republicans never forgave his brazen power

Unfortunately, a notable headline got lost in the hate fest: “President George W. Bush: American Revolutionary.” Time’s description goes to the core of what makes Bush such a polarizing figure, why mentioning his name starts half the nation sputtering with rage reminiscent of the most extreme Clinton haters, why the half of Bush-worshipers swoon in delirious rapture. Bush may look to Abe Lincoln for inspiration, and he certainly shares the first Republican president’s contempt for habeas corpus. The historian Richard Norton Smith compares the “audacious” Bush to Truman. But there’s a closer analogy to another radical: fellow revolutionary Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR won the presidency legitimately, with a decisive margin that gave him a mandate to reform a shattered economy and engineer a dramatic political alignment of the two parties. But that’s where the dissimilarities end. A walk through the museum at Roosevelt’s home in New Hyde Park, New York reveals that Franklin, like fellow New England blueblood-turned-populist Dubya, made his fortune the old-fashioned way. He inherited a famous name from a cousin who happened to be a brilliant war hero turned president, Theodore Roosevelt, and buckets of cash from mom and dad. His Columbia report card reflects a “C” student. Why study when success is all but assured? On the other hand, he may have done as well as his inadequate brain would let him. FDR’s writing was the product of an arrogant and blustery personality. When he discussed current events he came off like a self-entitled dimwit propelled by unjustified intellectual assurance. Remind you of anyone? Both men surrounded themselves with

grab. And both saw war as a chance to reap political gain. Bush consolidated power after 9/11, cowing opposition Democrats to ram through long-stalled schemes like the privacybusting USA Patriot Act and to argue for terrorism-unrelated changes like fast-track signing authority for free trade and tax cuts for the rich. Ultimately he conned the public into war against Afghanistan and Iraq, even convincing the public that the systematic round-up, indefinite detention and torture of thousands of innocent Muslims was necessary to protect them. For his part, the opportunistic FDR used the gathering storm of World War II to justify breaking tradition by running for an unprecedented third term. Hoping to provoke attacks that would push an isolationist public into joining the fighting in Europe, he concocted a lend-lease British-armaments plan that exposed American ships to German U-boats. No one knows whether FDR was aware that the Japanese planned to attack Pearl Harbor (or whether Bush knew 9/11 was coming), but he took advantage of wartime solidarity to push for domestic items on the Democratic wish list that had nothing to do with fighting the Germans or Japanese. To his and America’s eternal shame, he ordered mass arrests of thousands of patriotic Americans of Japanese ancestry, supposedly to protect us from “fifth columnist” sabotage. They were shipped to remote concentration camps and robbed of their homes and businesses. For the most part, the courts went along. FDR also shared Bush’s proclivity for supporting unpopular foreign leaders. Bush attempted to install Ahmed Chalabi, a convicted embezzler who had left Iraq as a child, as president of occupied Iraq, and Hamid Karzai, a former Taliban official picked to rule Afghanistan because he had worked for the same oil company that was trying to build a lucrative oil and gas pipeline across that country.

Kaluanui Sold! But what will happen to the Hui No’eau? Walking the grounds of the Hui No’eau Visual Arts Center, I can’t help but feel I’m in a very special and inspirational place. The 1917-vintage mansion, Kaluanui, looks like a tropical Great Gatsby scene with its elegant solarium and spacious display areas. Maui’s largest Cook pine dominates the front yard, which offers a remarkable view of Haleakala, the West Maui Mountains, rolling fields of pineapples and the North Shore. Spread across the 10.5 acres of the Kaluanui grounds are classrooms and workshops that have hosted hundreds of Maui’s artists and a generation of creative minds. The old stables hold a wellequipped pottery studio. The carriage house is home to a vibrant woodshop, print shop and jewelry studio. The mansion itself houses the Hui’s offices, as well as warm and inviting gallery space and a shop that sells the works of local artists. “The Hui is a place where I find inspiration, like spirits,” says sculptor Tim Garcia. “And if I get stuck in my little rut I can watch potters and print makers and talk to the staff inside, and come back inspired to work and create. It is a wonderful, spiritual place that the community, by the will of the Camerons and Baldwins, get to enjoy on a daily basis.” Now that might be ending. On Dec. 13 the Maui Land and Pineapple Company— which owns the property—announced that they had sold Kaluanui and 14 adjacent acres to a private buyer. As yet no one really knows what will happen to the Hui. Ethel Baldwin founded the Hui No’eau as an art community and educational institution in 1934. Until the 1950s, Kaluanui was the home of the Baldwin family. When the Baldwin family moved out of the Kaluanui mansion in the 1950s, the property went into the hands of the Maui Land and Pineapple Company (MLP). In 1976, MLP let the Hui No’eau use the property as its home. Over the years the Hui No’eau made many improvements and turned Kaluanui into the first rate art center it is today. “If it is lost we still have our beaches and other places to go, but there is nothing that will replace this,” says Garcia. “It is a priceless jewel in the Maui community. Many visitors come here on a regular basis and are blown away by the awe and the presence of the place. It is not just Maui that will lose out on this. The whole art community and visitors that come to Hawaii will miss this beautiful piece of Hawaii’s history.” Since 1995, MLP and Hui No’eau have discussed the possibility that the Hui would buy the property, but they never came to an

The Hui, last Christmas agreement. But there didn’t seem to be any hurry. “The Hui… has enjoyed and appreciated a preferential relationship with MLP for nearly 30 years—a trusting relationship, with a verbal understanding over a handshake, that Kaluanui would be the Hui’s permanent home,” wrote Hui Executive Director John Z. Lofgren in a Dec. 29 letter to Hui No’eau members. “Owning the property has been one of its longstanding goals.” Why MLP was so urgent in selling the property is unclear. Hui No’eau again spoke with company representatives between Sept. 17 and Nov. 29, but then MLP added on another 14-acre parcel as a condition of the sale, making the deal more difficult for the non-profit art organization. The Hui asked that MLP give it until April 30, 2005 to do more fundraising, but MLP said nothing. On Dec. 16, Hui board members met with MLP’s CEO David Cole, who told them that he’d sold the property to buyer Janet Zand. “What price do you put on a property that has been used by the community for so long and is cherished by so many people?” asks Garcia. “If the Hui has to move it will survive. The sale is going to put a sad heart in a lot of people, though, and make the pineapple taste a bit sour.” On the bright side, the Hui’s lease on Kaluanui means it has time to find a new location. Zand has offered to donate some land to a new permanent home for Hui No’eau, as well as host fundraisers in the mansion. MLP is also saying they will offer a place to the Hui No’eau in its new Hali’imaile development. That being said, it will be hard to find a better source of creative, inspirational energy than Kaluanui. The challenge will be to turn their shiny new building into a blank canvas for Maui’s art community. MTW

More Pumping, Less Dumping Why the commercial boating industry is killing our ocean By Cheryl Ambrozic-Mooz Dennis Fitzpatrick is an avid kayaker who enjoys spending his mornings gliding through the ocean off South Maui. But lately, he’s noticed that his paddles are cutting through more than just water. Navigating past the popular snorkel

spots, Fitzpatrick says his kayak often moves through a brown, frothy plume of floating waste. What Fitzpatrick is encountering is a careless trail of raw sewage left behind by the large tour boats. That’s right—when their tanks are full, the

tour boats simply empty them out as they’re sailing along, dumping huge amounts of toxics and sludge into the waters around Maui. For the last six years, Fitzpatrick has been passionate in his fight to stop this practice. He’s met with Mayor

Alan Arakawa, testified before the State Senate Ways and Means Committee, written to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and asked U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka for help. “I’m tired of the lack of action taken by the state and the lack of responsibility taken by the tour boat companies, especially when feasible solutions are immediately available,” Fitzpatrick told me. Fitzpatrick thought that his efforts were finally paying off when he heard that the state was going to build a pump-out facility at Ma’alaea Harbor. Such a facility would allow tour boats to empty their waste tanks into the harbor infrastructure, rather than the ocean. Unfortunately, the process entails designing plans, getting community input, securing bids and money and,

Hawaii’s marine ecosystem depends on clean water. It’s susceptible to damage from the continuous dumping of raw sewage, which oozes with pharmaceuticals, hormones and chemical contaminants. A clean, healthy ocean is vital to Maui’s economy and Maui’s future. We cannot survive without it. Despite the fact that the sewage being dumped by tour boats contains all sorts of toxics like formaldehyde, ammonium chloride and zinc sulfate, the boats aren’t doing anything illegal. U.S. maritime laws make clear that as long as they’re three miles or more offshore, vessels can release waste. Snorkel boats traveling between Ma’alaea and Molokini routinely exceed that distance. Dr. Lou Herman, the Director of the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal Laboratory and the Dolphin Institute believes that untreated human sewage is seriously damaging the fragile Hawaiian marine environment. “While the humpback whales don’t feed while they’re in Hawaiian waters, many other mammals such as six other species of whales and the spinner, spotted and stripped dolphins and pilot whales are feeding in these waters all year long,” he said. “The pollution will make its way up the food chain and

since dolphins are at the top of the chain, they are susceptible to high concentrations of it.” June Harrigan-Lum, manager of the Environmental Planning Office at the Department of Health sees things differently. In fact, she told me dumped sewage that distance out wouldn’t harm sea life. “Taking into consideration the distance, currents and tides, any macerated sewage dumped three miles from shore will eventually become diluted,” she said. If tour boats dump in the channel where currents are steady, then Harrigan-Lum is probably right. But the waters are much calmer in the zone that’s at least three miles from Maui, Kaho’olawe and Lanai where the snorkel and whale watch boats dump their waste. In fact, they could trap discharges for days or weeks. That area is also part of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. It’s a nursery and breeding ground for marine

ultimately, actually doing the job. Officials say that will take two, possibly three more years. And that’s considered the “fast track.” Richard Rice, Administrator for the Department of Boating and Recreation (DOBAR), says the problem has been getting the state to prioritize the funding to improve Maui’s 50-year-old-small boat harbors. Senator Inouye has appropriated the money for the improvements of the harbors infrastructure and DLNR engineers are currently in the design process. “Eventually, when the upgrades to the current wastewater system are in place, Ma’alaea harbor will have pump-out facilities,” said Rice. But until those upgrades are made, commercial tour boats using the harbor will continue dumping their waste in the ocean.

mammals and fragile reef ecosystems. And that’s got members of the Sanctuary Advisory Council concerned. “Sewage is comprised essentially of macerated human waste mixed with deodorizing and sanitizing chemicals,” they wrote to Governor Linda Lingle on Sept. 30, 2003. “Because marine heads use less liquid per flush that land-based toilets, the human waste matter is highly concentrated. It is unlike the effluent from our landbased primary sewage treatment facilities [from which solids are removed].

Because the waste the tour vessels are releasing is so concentrated, Marine Sanctuary officials want a precautionary approach to dumping. “If a mammal surfaces in that dumping area within the first hour of the waste being released, it would be swimming through a highly concentrated mix of sewage and chemicals,” said Jeff Walters, who comanages the Marine Sanctuary. Sewage contamination is measured in terms of fecal coliforms—bacteria produced in the intestines of all warm-blooded animals. Sewage contamination is a health threat because increased levels of fecal coliform contamination can cause illness such as hepatitis, typhoid, cholera, dysentery, gastroenteritis and staphylococcus. Twice a week, Roland Asakura—an Environmental Health Specialist with the state Department of Health (DOH) Clean Water Branch—takes near-shore samples of Maui’s most heavily used beach areas to determine the level of fecal contamination. While Asakura tests nine water samples from places like Lipoa St., Kanaha, Ma’alaea and Wailea—he doesn’t test anywhere near Makena, where residents have seen many sewage plumes. Asakura said the water in the tested areas is “pretty clean.” The reason is that the samples he takes average between three and five bacteria colonies per 100 milliliters. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard, anything above 33 colonies per 100 milliliters of water would be high. But others aren’t ready to say there’s no problem with dumping sewage in the ocean. “Any dumping of anything that wasn’t there before has some effect on the marine environment, at least at the

microenvironment [level],” said Captain Jim Coon of Trilogy. “I will rejoice when we have adequate pump out facilities in all our harbors.” State Health Adviser Dr. Lorrin Pang is also concerned, mainly about the increasing capacity of newer, larger, commercial tour boats now replacing the current boats at the harbors. “The sewage pollution in our recreational waters is only going to increase as these larger boats take on more people,” he said. This means greater amounts of sewage being dumped and a greater chance of a serious outbreak.”

(PWF) has spent the last three years pushing for a wastewater pump-out facility at Ma’alaea Harbor. Anne Rillero, PWF’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations, testified on the matter before the Lingle’s Maui Advisory Committee on Feb. 26, 2004. “Here on Maui each year, about one million passengers—excluding those from cruise ships—go boating from Lahaina and Ma’alaea harbors,” she said. “If just 20 percent of those passengers use the toilets on the boats, at two gallons per flush, that’s 400,000 gallons of effluent being dumped yearly off the coast of Maui—or about 1,000 gallons per day. This is not in the best interest of the marine environment. It is just not acceptable.” The Foundation, which genuinely wants a solution to dumping, is also part of the problem. They run six boats during whale season, each carrying between 48 and 149 passengers. But there is a stopgap option. Commercial tour boat operators could pay a septic tank firm to pump out and dispose of their boat’s sewage. Rob Parsons, the Mayor’s Executive Assistant for Environmental Concerns, said the tour companies would certainly pass the increased pumping costs onto their customers. But he also said that might not adversely affect their already environmentally friendly business. “People would rather choose a tour company that’s pumping, not dumping,” he said. Rillero said the PWF would consider hiring a private pump company, but were worried that the noise and smell would bother the Ma’alaea condominium owners. “The Ma’alaea Community

Association is in favor of pump-outs at the harbor and opposed to dumping this waste at sea,” said Robert Riebling, the Ma’alaea Community Association president. “However, if temporary pump-outs were to occur under the windows and lanais of two residential apartment buildings, the noise and odor would adversely affect property values.” Of course, all this talk of private pump companies and pump-out facilities may be academic. Lahaina Harbor has a free pump-out station at the dock, but many tour boats leaving there still dump their waste outside the three-mile limit. Boat owners I spoke with said they found the pump location inconvenient. They also said that when cruise ships are in port, their tenders block the access to the pump. In fact, one employee at the Lahaina Harbor office said she’s only seen four of the boats ever use the pump. At the Kihei boat ramp, the dive and tour boats en route to Molokini or other South Maui destinations do not cross that three-mile legal dumping area. According to Senior Marine Inspector Lt. Robert Haggerty of the Coast Guard Marine Safety Team, the 34 and 35-foot boats with holding tanks typically run outside the three-mile boundary to dump sewage when their tanks are full. Typically. “I’m sure there are rare cases when the vessels may illegally pump the sewage,” he said. Residents and ocean enthusiasts who frolic in the water along the south Maui coastline could attest to that statement. Right now the tour boat industry is both profiting from and spoiling Hawaii’s natural marine environment. One long-term solution is simply to make it illegal for boats to dump sewage into Hawaiian state waters and the National Marine Sanctuary. Considering the glacial pace of the effort to build pump-out facilities at Ma’alaea, there’s no reason to believe this would happen quickly. Yet activists like Fitzpatrick remain undeterred. Today, he spends a lot of time handing out flyers to tourists at the harbors, trying to get them to understand what’s happening. “I wish people would get their heads out of the sand,” he said. “If you’re concerned about what’s happening, get involved and help stop it.” MTW

Since she was also fan of their famous deep-dish pizza, she instantly accepted.

It was crowded, and all the tables were taken, so we took a couple seats at the bar. We both looked over the menus, but already knew what we wanted. After asking for two iced teas, we both ordered Nooners—um, the mini-pizza and salad lunch specials, not the, well, other thing. I mean, their sandwiches are great, their hot wings are phenomenal, but we were there for Nooners. She asked for mushrooms on her pizza. I got pepperoni. “Very traditional,” she said. Our salads came. I dove into mine— drowned in Ranch dressing—starting by skewering the cherry tomato. I glanced over and noticed she had picked out all the croutons. I held my tongue. After finishing it, I leaned back and looked out at the water. “I’m really going to be sad when they finally tow that boat out of here,” I said, tossing my thumb at the single-masted sailboat that sat just a few yards offshore. “It’s so picturesque, just sitting there, wedged into the reef at that weird angle.” “Are they ever going to tow it out?” she asked. “I mean, it’s been there since Halloween.” It certainly has.

You know, just in case they turn it around and ask you.” “Yeah,” she said, turning her spoon upside down on the pizookie plate. “I never do that.”

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK

AS TOLD TO SAMANTHA CAMPOS

George Gomes Corporate Executive Chef, Tri-Star Restaurants What I like to eat are soups. My favorite is Vietnamese Beef Noodle because it’s like Penicillin or going to the doctor. With its rich broth, fresh herbs and chilis, it can cure whatever ails you. My grandfather inspired me to cook when I was about 15. He would make Portuguese specialties for the holidays. Food has always been an important part of our lives—it’s about passion and being happy. I worked in a couple of steakhouses before I got a job at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel—one of the 10 top resorts in the world—on the Big Island. I applied for a cook’s job and eventually got in. Then I started culinary school at UH in Kona. I graduated in 1985 and continued working at the Mauna Kea for eight years. I started as a line cook, then became sous chef and was promoted to restaurant chef at the Garden Restaurant. We got a lot of press. I was written up in Food & Wine. I was the first local guy to be hired as a chef at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. It was a turning point for us. Hawaiian regional cuisine was my forté. I taught food classes at the hotel. Then I did stints at the Phoenician in Arizona and the Red Sage in Washington, D.C. I came back to Maui in 1994 and was corporate chef for A Pacific Café. We had two restaurants on Maui and two on Kauai. I became corporate chef for Tri-Star Restaurants in 1999. We have Aaron’s Atop the Ala Moana and Sarento’s Top of the “I” on Oahu, as well as Sarento’s on the Beach and Nick’s Fishmarket on Maui. I spend most of my time at Sarento’s. We do more of a “Mediterranean Rim” type of cuisine, utilizing local products. Local fish and seafood is our specialty. We use a lot of olive oil and garlic; not too much cream or butter at all. I love cooking. It’s a passion for me as much as everything I do. I also credit the guys I work with for my success—the team of chefs who’ve been with me for years. MTW

Turtlerama Tuesday, 7 p.m., McCoy Studio Theater [FILM] Holy Turtletopia! It’s a turtle-a-thon of short films, featuring The Last Journey for the Leatherback, about the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles, which have been around for 65 million years and are the largest turtles in existence—but not for long if we don’t help! They’re also showing Hawksbill Babies at Makena Beach about another magnificent but totally endangered sea turtle we’re lucky to have on Maui; and Learning to Sea, which is an award-winning film (Hawaii Ocean Festival, 2004) about turtle action on Red Sea and Caribbean reefs. And you can even ask all those questions about turtles you’ve been dying to have answered in a Q&A session with a turtle biologist—that’s a biologist who studies turtles, not a turtle who’s a biologist— teehee—and you can also find out what you can do to help. Hey, why not join the Hawksbill Dawn Patrol—I hear they have great uniforms! Presented by the Snorkel Bob Foundation with a special turtle chant by Maui waterman Kimokeo Kapahulehua, “descendent of many generations of Hawaiians who regard the turtle as Honu ‘Aumakua.” Tickets $10. Call the box office at 242-7469. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS by Samantha Campos

Tita Out Friday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater [STAGE] Kathy Collins, a.k.a. Tita, is a local actress and radio DJ who, my friends say, is the greatest storyteller. Using “chicken skin” stories, local legend and humor, along with the best in Hawaiian music (with special guests Uncle Richard Ho’opi’i on Friday and Eric Gilliom on Saturday!), Tita is not only funny but she also makes you think about things like empowerment, compassion and pride of heritage. The little girls in Hana— where she did a free show with Willie K recently—even call her the “Hawaiian Superwoman.” Aww... Tickets: $20, half-price for keiki. Call 242-7469.

Louis Hayes &… Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater [MUSIC] …The Cannonball Adderly Legacy Band! Whew, man, that’s a long name! But since Jazz drummer Louis Hayes has been an active participant in post-bop modern jazz and swing for more than 40 years, he probably deserves to use any damn mega-title he wants! His discography alone—featuring names like John Coltrane, Ravi Shankar and Oscar Peterson—makes the head spin. Now featuring Vincent Herring (sax), Jeremy Pelt (trumpet), Rick Germanson (piano) and Gerald Cannon (bass), Louis Hayes’ pays tribute to Julian Edwin “Cannonball” Adderly, one of the greatest “hard-bop” swing originators. Tickets: $25, half-price for keiki. Call 242-7469.

Peniston thrust past that one-hit wonder mark and continued with more Billboard Top Ten hit singles including “We Got A Love Thang,” “Keep On Walkin,” I’m Not Over You” and “Lifetime To Love,” which skyrocketed to number two on the Billboard chart in 2001.

1 Giant Leap

[DJ] It’s the DJ/artist with the mostest! Why, some might even call him the Master...s. As in, Ray Masters! Haha! Get it? Um, anyway, Masters, along with Sunn Lounge’s DJ Sal, will be spinning their dance-worthy House music in the guise of “Space Ibiza”— that’s two DJs, dancers, video projectors and “intelligent lighting.” Intelligent lighting? I still can’t figure that one out... but you know, Masters doesn’t spin that often so don’t miss your chance to dance, baby! And tell me all about those wise bulbs... uh, smart lamps? Oh yeah—intelligent lighting.

Monday, 6:30 p.m. at the Lahaina Jodo Mission [FILM] Nearly four years ago a couple British artistic movie guys made 1 Giant Leap. They traveled the world with their laptop and video camera, trying to capture as much unique color and experience as they could. The result was a multicolor, multimedia wonderland of a film that combined interviews with guys like Kurt Vonnegut and Dennis Hopper with the music of Michael Franti, Baaba Maal and Michael Stipe, then mixed it all in with fascinating scenes documenting the lives of people like a New Zealand sculptor and an Indian hardware store owner. Now you can see it for free in the fresh air near one of the largest Buddha statues outside of the Japanese home islands. Just don’t forget to bring lawn chairs and blankets. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Oil on Ice Saturday, 6:30 p.m. at the Kaunoa Senior Center in Sprecklesville; Sunday, 6 p.m. at the Cameron Center in Kahului; and Monday, 7 p.m. at Kalama 103 at Maui Community College [FILM] This is a one-hour documentary that explores not only the insanely beautiful world of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but also the cynical political maneuvering that seeks to sink oil wells there. The film delves into both the impact the drilling will have on the Native American and Eskimo peoples who live in the region and new, more efficient fuel technology that makes mere oil all but obsolete. Wow, that’s a lot of ground to cover in an hour. In addition, filmmaker Bo Boudart and representatives of the Inupiat and Gwich’in tribes will be on hand. For more information, call Lance Holter at 579-9442. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

New This Week

Castle Theater, 572-3456 Being Julia - R - Wed 5, 7:30

MAUI MALL MEGAPLEX

FAT ALBERT – (PG) – Comedy, Family – The latest in a series of live-action films patterned after cartoons that I grew up watching. No, it’s cool. Really, I don’t care. If Hollywood is totally bankrupt of ideas and is just recycling stuff that we all know and have seen, that’s there business. I mean, just because I write scripts that come back unopened, that doesn’t mean I’m bitter or anything.

ELEKTRA – (PG13) – Action/Adventure – Jennifer Garner reprises her role as the hottie superhero assassin who nearly upstaged Ben Affleck’s Daredevil two years ago. Anyhoo, though she died in that flick, she was reborn for this one so she could kill some dude and his little girl for the super-assassin group Order of the Hand. Sweeeet. Also stars Goran Visnjic and Terence Stamp.

FINDING NEVERLAND – (PG13) – Drama – Johnny Depp plays J. M. Barrie, the guy who wrote Peter Pan in this London, 1904 story. You remember Peter Pan, right? Sandy Duncan played him on Broadway. Also stars Kate Winslet and Dustin Hoffman.

COACH CARTER – (PG13) – Drama – Inspired by true-life story of controversial high-school basketball coach Ken Carter, who received both high praise and staunch criticism when he made national news in 1999 for benching his entire undefeated basketball team for poor academic performance. Starring Samuel Jackson, Rob Brown, Ashanti Baby! Baby! Baby ! Baby!

FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX – (PG13) – Action/Adventure – This ridiculous remake of a ridiculous 1965 Jimmy Stewart picture stars Dennis Quaid as the pilot of a rickety old cargo plane that crashes in the Gobi Desert with a cargo hold full of people dumb enough to fly in a rickety old cargo plane across the Gobi Desert. Also stars a bunch of actors who should have known better.

IN GOOD COMPANY – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama – Poor sap Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) ends up demoted from head of ad sales and has to work for a new boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), who is not only half his age, but also decides to date Foreman’s hottie 18-year-old daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). Those naughty up-and-comers!

HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Foreign – This movie takes place near the end of China’s Tang Dynasty, which was, well, a while ago. Anyway, two cops arrest this hot dancer who has underworld ties, then decide that she’s too hot to bring downtown so they escape with her on some kind of perilous journey. Cool.

RACING STRIPES – (PG13) – Comedy, Drama, Kids/Family – A traveling circus accidentally leaves behind a baby zebra—I know, it happens all the time—so then the precocious zebra gets the inclination to become a racetrack-star, with a little help from his farm animal friends... Okay, is it just me or does it sound like somebody had a few too many “special” brownies when they came up with this screenplay? I’m just saying...

Now Showing THE AVIATOR – (PG13)- Drama – This is Martin Scorsese’s 168-minute epic on Howard Hughes that includes only a brief interlude of the billionaire’s most intriguing years when he became renowned for living in secret while wearing tissue boxes on his feet and growing out his hair and fingernails to absurd lengths, all while keeping jars of his own urine close by. Stars Leonardo di Caprio as the nutty flyer/film maker and No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow. Fabulous! BIRTH - (R) - Drama - In this metaphysical love story, Nicole Kidman stars as Anna, a delicate young widow who is on the verge of a new life when a solemn little boy appears, claiming to be the reincarnation of her dead husband. Weird.

OCEAN’S TWELVE – (PG13) – Action/Adventure, Romance, Thriller, Crime – This is the heist caper that out-heists the previous heist caper Ocean’s Eleven, which in itself was a remake of the horrendously awful Rat Pack-starring Ocean’s 11. This time around, the band of cons and thieves gets together again to rip off someone really rich in Europe to pay off the Vegas casino guy they ripped off in the first movie. Stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and all the rest. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA – (PG13) – Drama, Musical, Suspense – It’s the classic tale—and another cinematic take on a Broadway musical, oh joy—about a mysterious masked figure who roams the undergrounds of 19th century Paris, especially lurking around (or under—naughty!) the Opera Populaire, where he tutors a beautiful young soprano.

LEMONY SNICKET’S: A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS – (PG13) – Comedy, Family – It says “comedy,” but it stars Jim Carrey, so how funny can it be? This is the story of three little orphans who end up living with a bunch of odd relatives, including a schmo named Lemony Snicket and some dastardly fellow named Count Olaf, played by Carrey.

SPANGLISH – (PG13) – Comedy – This James L. Brooks vehicle stars Paz Vega as a beautiful Mexican woman who moves in with an affluent whitebread American family headed by crown prince of evil Adam Sandler. Gold! Also stars Tea Leoni and Cloris Leachman.

MEET THE FOCKERS – (PG13) – Comedy – Four years ago, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) met his fiance’s (Teri Polo) parents, including ex-CIA man Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and his wife (Blythe Danner). This time, we meet The Fockers—a liberal stay-at-home dad (Dustin Hoffman) and his senior citizens’ sex therapist wife (Barbara Streisand). Usually, I’m skeptical about all-star casts but Bobby De Niro, Tootsie and Babs? C’mon!

find some incredible treasure hidden by our nation’s founding fathers, who were nice enough to plant clues on the back of $1 bills. Sean Bean, as usual, plays a “ruthless adversary” in their search to unlock the secret to what the movie calls a 2,000-year-old mystery. Sounds great—wait, 2,000? Um, isn’t the country just—wait, let me get my calculator—228 years old? So it’s a 228-year-old mystery, right? Well, that doesn’t sound like such a big deal.

THE INCREDIBLES – (PG) – Animation, Action, Comedy – A family of former superheroes comes out of retirement to don masks and capes and brightly colored tights so they can, once again, fight evil and save lives. If only all family reunions could be so benevolent! Voices by Craig T Nelson, Samuel Jackson and Holly Hunter.

BLADE: TRINITY – (R) – Action/Adventure, Suspense/Horror – The third and quite possibly— we’re hoping—the last in Wesley Snipe’s ultra-hip vampire series. In this adventure, half-vampire Blade (Snipes) is pursued by the FBI, teams up with a bunch of vampire hunters and goes after Dracula, who I think is the original vampire or something like that. Also stars Kris Kristofferson, Jessica Biel and Parker Posey, of all people. CLOSER – (R) – Drama/Comedy – Another of Jude Law’s many, many 2004 pictures. This one teams him and three others in a story of four strangers who have chance encounters and overlapping attractions. Sounds hilarious. Also stars Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen.

PUREVOLUME

BY JOJOBOY

THE MOLE “WHIRLWIND WORLD” In his first new solo work since 2002’s Communion, the Mole offers up Whirlwind World—hiphop’s first “Choose Your Own Adventure” concept album. Here’s the set-up: Your family home has been taken over by robots. Between tracks, you are instructed to “turn and run outside to safety, skip to chapter 4. Or, if you refuse to be displaced from your home by machinery, skip to chapter 6.” It’s a fantastic new way to present music. But even folks who are lazy on the interaction tip will dig Whirlwind World; it works just as marvelously as a straight-through listen, on account of the Mole’s ever-inventive beats, frantically shifting delivery and solid rhyme skills. Even more on this outing than on his previous records, the Mole’s voice channels a whole barrelful of different monkeys. He’s old school-ey dope on “Dysnomia,” an 1980s-inspired jam in which he plays both Run and DMC, rapping with himself; in “Sparkly Things” he’s a starry-eyed page, hoping to find the kindred souls who share his dreams; and in the cautionary “Problems,” he’s simply the Mole himself—the guy we know from Communion. Whether dancing puppet or daring prophet, the multiple voices throughout the album allow him to express his multiple sides. Lyrics verge from the mischievous—“What do you do with a drunken sailor? Shave his belly with a rusty razor”—to the downright gorgeous: “We could be the first few grains in a brand new beach of sand.” The between-tracks narrator of the adventure is The Mole’s frequent partner-in-rhyme, Demune, last heard on the pair’s Attack of the Zombie King album. Demune’s delivery—as the funky Crypt Keeper or the Vincent Price of hip hop—is perfect. Other Hawai’i-based superstar guests range from indie rockers Hinterlander and Will the Moore to hip-hoppers Terms None and Tyconichi to Japanese multi-media artist Ayaka Umeda. “This Is What Happens When My Thoughts Get Ahead Of Me” is the awesome lead single with Terms, also available in fine remixed form on the Motion Recordings website (www.motionrecordings.com). Its rapid-fire stream-of-consciousness lays in stark contrast to a track like “Barren Hills,” which places a simple harmonica loop and work song feel beneath lyrics adapted from a girl’s lonely journal entry. It is contrasts like this with which the album brings to light the diversity of the human mind. One of the most brilliant moments of the album is “The Day Everything Changed,” an atmospheric mini-epic about the day that humans begin to fly. Featuring a lovely guest spot by Chilean rapper dadaLU and a superb “live” news brief by Tang Li Wheebs, the track is really funny but also strangely touching. As you listen, you believe the “sudden shift in human consciousness” that the Mole foresees is truly close. The track manages to pick your whole heart up and make you feel lighter, as if you’re about to join the floating rappers despite your gravity, too. Clearly, the “adventure” theme he’s chosen is fun and creative (plus you often get cooler options than the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books ever offered—as you toss and turn on a cot, for example, your choices are to “sleep on your back” or to “sleep on your side”) but the true pulse beneath Whirlwind World is—the vein connecting its tracks—is much deeper... Almost all the lyrics find The Mole aching to find light at the end of the tunnel, peace of heart in the chaos of life, hope in dark times, and company in isolation. Maybe that’s why “The Day Everything Changed” is so memorable—it’s the moment where the shiny world he dreams of materializes. Whirlwind World closes with “Every Dream Is Born In Chaos,” an instrumental that could soundtrack either a sad machine plodding on after life on the planet has ceased, or the sound of a new world being built. That’s where the choice in this “Choose Your Own Adventure” really lays: in choosing our next reality. And as far as choosing our own listening experience goes, it’s a rare album that can be heard as either a fun sci-fi/fantasy flick or a real journey through the dark night of the soul, depending on your mood. Whirlwind World manages to be timely and ahead of its time all at once. —Motion Recordings 2004 MTW

Kilohana

The music-making process has always consisted of Oana creating all of the tracks at home on the bass and drums, resulting in a laptop full of 600 dance tracks, ballads, Hawaiian songs and a lot of mellow stuff. Oana and Varde have been playing luaus and gigs around the island for so long, it is their versatility and awareness to crowd response that has kept them working. “We can do almost everything,” says Oana with a sly look in his eye. “We try to fit the bill but, of course, we play what we want to play! We cover stuff we grew up on so there is always good music to play. If someone over there wants to hear a Hawaiian song, I can do it at the drop of a hat.” Oana told me that Kilohana will be going into the studio soon to record Hawaiian music with a different take on it, but he didn’t want to disclose anything further. Music is life for the local duo and they are very fortunate, never taking it for granted. “I just love playing all types of music,” says Oana. “It keeps me fresh. I’ve got to think a lot and I like that.” The he looks around the place, pausing for a moment on the stage full of instruments. “It’s the challenge of not being in a little box.

Chris is hosting a diving adventure for guests, which goes fine until one of them comes up too quick. Turns out he’ll be fine, except someone else gets left at sea. Wasn’t that a recent movie? So the Grand Waimea gets slammed with both a lawsuit and a 2.5 rating on its new restaurant. On the plus side, things are looking good for Alex on Day 46. Tessa meets the family at Frankie’s family reunion, only to find that she stole his cousin’s wallet. Luckily Frankie’s mom likes her and helps her out. Then Jason finds out that Vincent is still dealing drugs and that he’s going down. So he takes off in the truck and gets arrested. That’s when Chris realizes the lawsuit is a set-up, then goes “somewhere quiet” with Alex. Jason uses his one phone call to talk to Nicole, but she’s sleeping with Tommy.

Some outside influence—maybe your spouse, boss or neighbor—has forced you to act contrary to your natural inclinations. They may have made an ultimatum or simply imposed subtle boundaries on your behavior over time. Anyway, this week those artificial limitations are likely to crumble, dramatically. Let them. You’re too stubborn and powerful to be walled-in by the will of another, no matter who they are. Only you can decide, ultimately, to permanently alter your conduct. Measures imposed by others are, at best, temporary. Shrug off the yoke of external threats or nitpicking, and let those who’d control you know that only compelling reasoning and rational argument—enough to sway your own mind—could possibly do the trick.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Your once-dainty rose-colored shades have become beer goggles. Everyone imposes filters—consciously or unconsciously—on their perception of the world around them. But occasionally this escalates to the point where your observations are no longer even remotely valid, because they’re just so distorted. People count on you for your uncanny insight and keen perception of the big picture, so when you venture into the realm of outright delusion, everyone around you feels a bit lost. Do what it takes this week—even if it’s painful—to strip illusions from your sight and see, as much as possible, what’s really there.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)

5 min. from Red Sand Beach and stores

You can overdose on equanimity, to the point where it’s more of a curse than a blessing. Your ability to accept things as they are is slightly out of control. I usually admire your ability to serenely experience extreme situations without feeling any pressing compulsion to change them. However, it’s not always appropriate—sometimes they need transformation, and the only person equipped to do so is the person who’s standing just outside of them; in this case, you. Don’t be reluctant to get your hands dirty or engage in confrontation this week. If you know in your heart that you can “fix” something (even if it’s not technically “broken”), please do so—you might be the only one who can.

Long term/short term

SERVICES

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) I expect you to navigate this week with the metaphorical equivalents of a flag of truce in one hand and a machine gun in the other. You’re going to require both your ability to impose order on chaos, and your talent for generating pandemonium in too-structured situations. No one’s got it exactly right, neither the violently self-righteous assholes on one side, nor the well-meaning, prissy rule-makers on the other. We’d be drowning in blood or bureaucracy if either faction prevailed. So use your perversely contradictory talents wisely this week: tame the vicious and incite the faint-hearted, until they’re able to meet, and talk, somewhere in the middle.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)

SERVICES

When walking the sidewalks of Paris, you have to watch your step, lest you step in one of the ubiquitous piles of dog shit. Consequently, you can sometimes fail to notice how pretty the city is, at least above sidewalk level. You’re not in France’s capital, but you might as well be; you’re so busy avoiding stinking messes that you’re completely missing the insanely beautiful experiences you’re actually moving through. Look up, already. Accept that you’re going to step in a little shit along the way. Once you get a look at what you’ve been missing, you’ll realize wading through crap is no big deal; it is, in fact, worth it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) The world’s a fucking mess. Anyone who has eyes to see can easily be daunted by the immense trouble we’re in. There are just too many problems happening all at once, with most of them resistant to simple solutions. Apathy is a real danger, because once you realize you’re helpless, it seems like your only option is to surrender and stop caring. It’s “out of your hands.” It’s not, though. True, you’re nowhere near powerful enough to solve any of the big stuff by yourself, but there are a couple quandaries you’re uniquely qualified to see clearly (while others miss them entirely), and resolve completely. Please do so this week.

HIV COUNSELING AND TESTING If you feel that you have been potentially exposed to HIV and would like Free, Confidential and Anonymous testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900. It is important to know your HIV status so that you do not unknowingly pass the virus to others, also early detection is vital to your health and treatment. The Maui AIDS Foundation now offers Drop-In HIV Counseling and Testing (No appointment necessary) Drop in hours are Mon.-Fri. 8:30am to 4:30pm, Wed. 8:30am to 7pm 1935 Main Street, Wailuku For more information on HIV/AIDS, STD’s including Viral Hepatitis and HIV Counseling and Testing call the Maui AIDS Foundation at 242-4900. In Hana call 248-7801, Lanai 5656722, and Molokai 553-9086.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You’ve got this idea that you’re limited by things you learned as a child, or that society subtly hard-wired into your brain. Re-writing that shit isn’t all that difficult; the challenge is actually coming around to the decision that a major edit is necessary. It’s scary to decide that a marriage doesn’t have to include sex to be viable and worthwhile, or that you don’t need a regular job to survive, or that raising your children with more than one other adult is a good idea. However, I think some of the “radical” ideas you’re considering could improve (and yes, complicate) your life considerably. You can’t put off your commitment to them forever. This week, decide, one way or the other, if you’re going to rewrite what you’ve been taught, or stick with that lesson for good or ill.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Your usual strategy to deter predators and competition—roar and brandish teeth and claws—isn’t likely to work this week. Your current adversaries know that you generally never have to back up your aggressive songand-dance with actual action. In other words, they’re not going to be scared off, and you’re not in a position to actually rip them open, so a new tactic is called for. Think of the pufferfish, which, when in danger, rapidly inflates itself with water until it’s many times its usual size. In other words, when you’re threatened this week, don’t respond with threats of your own; simply make yourself too big for anyone to get their teeth around.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) January’s persistent gloom is depressing, I know. The lack of sunlight is a bit grueling, and can make you feel basically lackluster and unlovable. Screw vim, vigor or enthusiasm; just getting the job done is a huge accomplishment at the moment. Besides, everyone around you is more or less in the same boat, so no one’s going to notice your low-level misery. Go ahead and be glum. Just don’t fall into the trap Virgos are notorious for: beating yourself up about it. Being blah is part of the winter cycle. Please don’t make it worse by feeling shitty about feeling shitty.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You’re as prickly as a cactus this week, but so what? Most people find cacti cute, even lovable—provided they’re not surprised by a painful puncture. If they’re properly made aware of your barbed state, they’ll still be quite pleased to have you around. They might even admire your self-containment and resourcefulness. The worse thing you could do this week is succumb to your deeply-ingrained habits, and pretend to be as cheerful and sociable as ever. That’s dangerous bullshit. People don’t need you to be perky and happy all the time. Be real. You’ll see that people appreciate that more than a good mood.

SIGNLANGUAGE

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Technology is changing human existence. Just knowing what time it is, all the time, or being able to contact people instantly, makes us dramatically different from humans of a few centuries ago. Too much of this “revolution” happens by default, unfortunately, without much conscious decision-making. Stuff’s made, marketed, and embraced without consideration of how it’ll change us, until it’s too late. It may sound stupid, but think about it: What’s your palm device doing to you? Is your iPod actually as necessary as you think it is? Examine the technology you use—from elevators to gadgets to automobiles—and make sure it’s actually making your life better, in the short- and long-term. Some of it just plain isn’t. Get rid of it.

“we do all the work . . . so you can enjoy your yard”

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You’re a gobstopper in the midst of a major sucking session. Your colors and flavors are changing rapidly, thanks to powerful external forces. I admire your versatility and flexibility, but I’m also worried that things might get out of control. So far these are just outer layers—different hats you’re capable of wearing, so to speak. But this much erosion, left unchecked, could affect your core, too. Make sure, while you’re experimenting, that you have an out—a safety line or two—or you could wind up in the belly of a beast much bigger than you are.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Finding your perfect match is easier than making your bed.

Bar Pickup-ology Nobody said bars were the ideal places to meet your mate. But it is awfully fun to watch as the herds flirt and fumble their way into love and romance. Or, as is more often the case, into dysfunctional relationships of catastrophic proportions. I know, I’m twisted. But, in my many days and nights of “research,” I have experienced the best and worst in bar pick-up methods. Here are some of the most common.

JANUARY 13, 2005

“Can I buy you a drink?” is a generous and friendly standby but tends to set up a whole new set of bar pick-up protocol. If you ask the bartender to relay the message but then I say no, you’re up against a wall. If I accept, am I obligated to come over and say hi? Or can I get away with a sincere thank you and resume my mad flirting elsewhere? This one always makes me so nervous that I end up forcing my benefactor to do a Mind Eraser with me just to see if he runs away with his tail between his legs. “What’s your name?” or “Where are you from?” as the first words out of your mouth somehow seem a bit too invasive. My first instinct is to make something up in response. Color me paranoid but I don’t know if you’re stalker material yet. “Do you live here?” Usually asked by eager visitors or boastful residents, this line is just too common, mundane and uninteresting. It always seems to come off as a bit condescending. And again, a yes-or-no question doesn’t necessarily facilitate conversation. Compliments are nice, if they’re sincere and not breast-related. But even then, they can be a little risky. “You’re beautiful” or “You have nice hair/eyes/gold-capped teeth” works fine unless you’re visibly inebriated, drooling or staring a little too long. Then you’re just creepy. “Can I bum a smoke?” Hmm… Okay, so you smoke, you’re selfish and a moocher, as well as carcinogenic. Bad. On the other hand, maybe this is your one vice and it’s better to tell me up front about it instead of me finding out later you’re an obsessive-compulsive pill popper with a serious Oedipal complex. Perfect! Call me! Humor. Generally, if you can make someone laugh within the first 30 seconds of meeting her/him—and it’s not AT you—you’re in. But if you’re suddenly on fire with too many knockknock jokes, it can make a body want to look for the nearest extinguisher. “What kind of trouble are you getting into tonight?” This was a pick-up line that a former boyfriend admitted to using with great success. It was creative and indeed, it worked— at least it did on me. It showed he was confident, playful and saw me as adventurous and sexy. Subsequently, it also led to a fair amount of law breaking in my quest to constantly live up to his hopeful inquiry. Oh, the pressure! The Walk Away. Another boyfriend of mine used a less direct, more challenging approach. His tactic was to engage a girl in conversation, flirting a little, then flirting a lot, and then leaving abruptly. Naturally, it worked on me—I was intrigued. He said “the walk away” ropes in the ladies every time. He was a cocky bastard, but he was right. Leaving just a little mystery in your initial contact is a smart investment for at least some sort of future relations. Aw, yeah... The Surprise Hit. This is when you say something so off-the-wall that you catch your recipient off guard and they simply have to talk to you, if only out of sheer curiosity. At least, this was my friend’s reasoning when he tried to use the “If you were a screen door, I’d slam you all night” line with some girl at a bar in California. He barely escaped with his life. Honesty Really Only Works for the First 10 Seconds. One night when I happened to have a camera next to my purse on the bar, a guy approached me. “Are you a photographer?” he asked. Feeling a little sassy and tired, I said no. There was some awkward silence for a moment. Then he smiled. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what else to say. That was my ice-breaker.” Ah, yes, the deviously strategic yet seemingly humble approach. I fell for it immediately. So I talked to him. Later he said he initially wanted to talk to me because he liked my boobs. Anyway, after all this, you might not be surprised to know my favorite approach is the simplest one. It’s the one conversation opener that shows you’re confident and mature, sensitive and direct. It’s so obvious and yet, it’s the most underused pick-up line of our time. “Hi. How are you?” Sigh. I’m swooning already. MTW
