LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR WORD FROM KALAUPAPA Why do you put these things in your paper? Once again, another fine piece of “journalism” from the infamous Barukh Shalev (“Cast Away,” Jan. 6, 2003). As an editor you should tell the people who write for your magazine to show the good in the world, the beauty and the power of the living. Being in Maui, I am thankful for all that it is we have, to not see the bad in things. To walk hand in hand with nature.

I never [like] his articles. Not because they are bad (they are written sophisticate[d] especially for here) but because his voice is hostile and unforgiving. However elegant he makes his writing, they don’t hide the fact that he has hatred for the people in the world.

I think he should change his outlook to one that shows positivity [sic] and hope, not sadness. Just one opinion on things.

-Nelson Pulido, via email I am writing in regards to the article written on Kalaupapa. It first came to my urgent attention through contacts from Kalaupapa, as my grandmother lives there and has Hansen’s disease. I heard the article was cruel, unfair and horrible. I was told something needed to be done. Of course, hearing this my first reaction was to read the article. To my surprise I found it quite good. Honest, informative, interesting. I did not find one cruel word or opinion in the entire article.

I met Barukh Shalev and, yes, we did argue about Noam Chomsky and many other things. Still, I write this to defend a decent and honest story and its creator for fear of sabotage and unfair judgment from Kalaupapa quarters. Mahalo.

HEMPTASTIC Just wanted to thank Maui Time for an article well written about sweatshop labor (“Dirty Clothes,” Dec. 30). A lot of people don’t give a thought about how or where

their clothing is made but there are plenty of people who DO care and we thank you for helping to educate the masses... even if a lot of them don’t care. Some do. A lot of us know that Gap and Nike are some of the worst offenders of sweatshop manufacturing and a lot of (hip, in and cool) women are walking around with fancy-ass pants with straps hanging from multilevel panel pockets made in ungodly working conditions... But hey, people seem to think that someone has to pay for Americans to be soooo cool. Don’t get me going on that subject...

Anyway, I just want to thank all of the conscious shoppers out there who are aware of how and where they spend their money and to those that realize that the dollars you spend are WAY more powerful than any vote for any politician anywhere. And thank you to ALL of our conscious customers that keep my locally made clothing company a success.

Mahalo and Hempy New Year.

ehbrah@mauitime.com Midnight had just been celebrated when I was dancing the New Year away at Casanova in Makawao. I had left my I-wear-it-once-a-year blue blazer hanging at my chair. You slipped your hand inside the pocket of my jacket and took my wallet. Not only was I out a bunch of cash, but now I was going to have to stand in line for hours at the DMV to get my license replaced. And I had a bunch of phone numbers in there that I really needed. But then, to my astonishment, you used part of the cash you stole to mail my wallet back to me at the address on my driving license! Thank you! I really appreciate your thoughtful consideration. You even left my Kula Hardware gas card and Sports Authority frequent tennis racket stringer card inside! Only in Makawao would I find a thief with aloha. To honor you I’m sending an extra $100 to the Tsunami relief fund. It may help you out with your real bad karma for stealing wallets out of people’s jackets.

MAUICOUNTY

BY ANTHONY PIGNATARO

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 12 Our beloved Governor Linda Lingle and a bunch of other state government suits all had to go to ethics class this week, according to the Associated Press. They had to go because last year the legislature decreed that all top officials part of the State of Hawaii have to get ethics instruction. And Lingle apparently found the instruction enjoyable, telling the AP that, “It was kind of nice to just sit and focus on a subject like that.” She also said the class really made her think, like the time the instructor said that a former school superintendent who just retired and went into the textbook publishing business shouldn’t try to sell books to his or her old school district. “I had no idea,” Lingle told the AP. “I just had never thought of ethics at that level. I always thought of it at a political level—the elected official level.” Now before you snide, private sector jerks scoff, Lingle is not alone. Many government officials don’t know that it’s not right to profit from public service or exploit connections made at taxpayer expense for personal gain. So cut her some slack! After all, she’s only been in politics since 1980.

time I’ll have to provide proper physical documentation rather than trying to create that documentation,” he told The News’ Illima Loomis.

Man, they threw out Nixon for admitting less.

The quiet expansion of Kahului Airport is just rolling, reports a new press release from Lingle’s office. “Kahului Airport is the state’s second biggest airport,” said state Department of Transportation director Rod Haraga in the release, undoubtedly using the term “biggest” rather loosely, “so it is critical that we continue to upgrade the facilities to accommodate the growing number of passengers.” Today they’re moving concession stands, adding space in the ticket lobby and putting up sidewalk canopies. Tomorrow, maybe they’ll pour concrete for a new 10,000-foot runway that can take wide-body landings day and night.

I’m telling you, people, this is how airports get bigger. Count on it. Airports expand. That toothpaste that says it will whiten your teeth may not do jack, but the airports—they expand like there’s no tomorrow.

Today the Washington Post reported that Dubya says that since more American people voted for him than John Kerry, that means the American people wholeheartedly support his invasion of Iraq and the way the war’s going, so he won’t be holding any officials “accountable” for any “mistakes or misjudgments” in war planning. Isn’t democracy beautiful?

MONDAY, JAN. 17 FRIDAY, JAN. 14 Finally, at long lost, after what seemed an eeeeeeeeternity, land dealer Masaru “Pundy” Yokouchi is finally getting an award. He’s been named a 2005 laureate by the Hawaii Business Hall of Fame and the board of directors of Junior Achievement of Hawaii.

And really, it’s about time. This is the guy who more than any other individual brought land developers and the Democratic Party together to create the resort building extravaganza that has exemplified Maui over the past couple of decades. For too long he’s gone without recognition. His political wheel-greasing has been replaced by arts patronage, but where’s the love?

Sure, he was an Alfred Preis Honoree in 1997.

And that same year got honored at the Hawaii Theater in the show Creative Ticket for Student Success. Then in 2002 he won the Association of Fundraising Professional’s President’s Award. And the Inaugural Sidney R. Yates Advocacy Award. And in 2003 the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii honored him as a Living Treasure back in 2003. And the Maui Arts and Cultural

THURSDAY, JAN. 13 Got some really sad news today. Looks like the Maui Land & Pineapple Company is going to demolish their Kapalua Bay Hotel. Not, like, today or even tomorrow, but come spring, 2006, that baby’s coming down. Sure, they say they’re going to reopen it two years later as some “exclusive resort club” thing that MLP boss David C. Cole says “will feel just like a hotel.” Except it’ll be more expensive and elitist. Sweeeeet! The Maui News has a huge story on the proposed tear-down in today’s issue, but absolute no word on whether the new hotel will still sell those gigantic hot dogs that the ladies seem to love so much…After months of appeals, hand-wringing and general whining, Maui Weekly reporter Louis “Cort” Gallup has finally admitted that he’s not eligible to vote or run for public office in the United States of America. If you recall, Canadian-born Gallup tried to run for 11th District State Representative last year on the grounds that’s since he’s a Native American, some ancient treaty allows him to vote in the U.S. Not to anyone’s surprise but his, the county Registrar of Voters had a different view, and knocked Gallup out of the race. But now, speaking to The Maui News about why he’s stopped appealing that ruling, it’s clear that he’s learned his lesson. “I realized that next

Center named its Founders Court after him.

But what’s he got lately?

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and better race relations and all that, this evening PBS ran the first part of Unforgiveable Blackness, Ken Burns’ new documentary on African American boxer Jack Johnson. I learned a few things from this. First, that Johnson—who won the heavyweight title in 1908—was so ingenious he invented a new kind of wrench. Second, that former heavyweight champ “Gentleman” Jim Corbett spewed racial filth more often than you’d think for a guy who had the nickname “Gentleman.” And lastly, that newspapers of the day weren’t afraid to publish sentences like “He told detractors to go to Hot Place.”

TUESDAY, JAN. 18 I’m pretty sure “Hot Place” is what they used to call ethics class.

Anthony Pignataro was Prime Minister of the Cook Islands for two weeks in the summer of 1997.

At first, I thought I’d misheard him. But looking at the faces of the other board members and the county Corporation Counsel, I realized I’d heard right. Chairman Shigeto “Mustard” Murayama had indeed just called his Maui County Liquor Control Adjudication Board a “rubber stamp.”

It had happened near the end of the Jan. 6 hearing. Most of the agenda was finished and they were adopting the Findings of Fact.

It was usually the dullest part of the hearing—no discussion, just everyone quickly raising their arm to approve the final documents and judgments related to recently adjudicated cases. But this time, Murayama looked confused.

“Is it proper to reconsider penalty votes?” he suddenly asked Corporation Counsel Traci Fujita Villarosa.

Now she looked confused and even a little concerned. She asked if it was just a hypothetical question or if he was preparing to do the unthinkable and attempt to reopen past cases.

He said it was hypothetical. She seemed relieved, and said that they could only revisit old cases if new evidence had emerged.

“The only reason I’m asking this is because we’re just doing a rubber stamp,” he then said.

I sat dumbstruck in the hearing room gallery, just staring at my notes. I couldn’t believe he would let loose such an astonishing revelation in an open session. Of course the Adjudication Board was a rubber stamp—it was perfectly obvious. They handed out guilty rulings and fines like napkins at a rib joint. But for Murayama to realize that, now, at the end of a hearing filled with quickie no contest pleas—it was simply too fantastic to believe.

The room was very quiet. “You’re talking about findings of fact?” Villarosa finally asked.

Murayama said that he was.

Well, there went that dream.

Villarosa seemed relieved. She explained that by approving Findings of Fact for various cases, they were acknowledging their final judgments and signing off on the final documents, some of which they hadn’t seen before. Satisfied with that explanation, Murayama wrapped up the hearing.

“Hopefully this year will mean less cases,” he said at the end, referring to the New Year, “and more no contest [pleas].”

A new documentary, Hitler’s Hit Parade, runs 76 minutes without narration. Comprised entirely of archival footage, the film prompts its reviewers to remark upon Hannah Arendt’s famous observation about the banality of evil.

German troops subjugated Europe and shoved millions of people into ovens while German civilians went to the movies, attended concerts, and gossiped about their neighbors. People lived mundane, normal lives while their government carried out unspeakable monstrosities.

Sound familiar?

As Congress prepared to rubberstamp the nomination of torture aficionado Alberto Gonzales as the nation’s chief prosecutor, the Washington Post broke news that would have torn a saner nation apart. The Bush Administration, the paper reported January 2, is no longer planning to keep hundreds of Muslim prisoners currently rotting away in U.S.

What’s worse than biting into an apple and finding half a worm? Well, probably lots of things, but spying live maggots in your burger certainly comes to mind. On Christmas Eve, a man and his wife had just sat down to their lunch. According to the complaint they later filed, after eating two bites the man found “live maggots” in his “Black and Blue Burger.” He said maggots were in the bleu cheese, on the wrapper and on his plate. The man said he later contacted the restaurant’s corporate office, but got no response. Wasting little time, the Department of Health Sanitarian conducted an inspection of the establishment on Dec. 29 and found no such violations.

-G. Poccia

concentration camps at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram merely “indefinitely.” The Defense Department and CIA are now planning “a more permanent approach for potentially lifetime detentions” for these innocents.

We’re locking them up forever. Without due process.

Before gangsters like Alberto Gonzales seduced us into abandoning our values, a person was considered innocent before being proven guilty. Now we’re locking people away because “the government does not have enough evidence to charge [them] in courts.”

And everyone, including Democrats, is okay with this.

Untold thousands of people are being held without charges, tortured and occasionally murdered in the system of gulags hastily strung together by the CIA, FBI, INS and Pentagon. According to the government itself, only a few dozen are former Al Qaeda officials.

Most of these postmodern misérables were farmers, truck drivers, grunt militiamen and political enemies sold into bondage by Afghan warlords and similarly trustworthy souls for cash bounties on a no questions asked basis.

We know they have no ties to terrorism, but they’ve already spent years getting beaten up.

Releasing them would serve as a tacit admission that we were wrong to describe them as— in Dick Cheney’s words—“the worst of the worst.” They would sue our government, and eventually win. Worst of all, they have unpleasant tales to tell about systemic sodomy and countless other forms of horrific taxpayer-funded abuse. We can never let them out.

Bush plans to divide U.S. concentration camp victims into two groups. One set of “lifers” will end up in U.S.-run stalags like Gitmo’s new Camp 6, built to hold 200 “detainees who are unlikely to ever go through a military tribunal for lack of evidence, according to defense officials.” But not to

worry: Camp 6 would “allow socializing among inmates.”

Others captured in the “war on terrorism” will be outsourced “to third countries willing to hold them indefinitely and without proceedings” in foreign-run gulags that pledge to make victims available for torture by American interrogators. This practice, some claim, is “an effective method of disrupting terrorist cells and persuading detainees to reveal information.”

“The threat of sending someone to one of these countries [where they are likely to be tortured] is very important,” said Rohan Gunaratna, author of Inside Al Qaeda: Global Network of Terror.

But the so-called “ticking time bomb” rationale for torture is patently fallacious.

We’ve heard the scenario repeatedly: wouldn’t it be worth torturing someone who knew the location of a nuclear bomb that was about to destroy Manhattan? The short answer, to a moral person, is obviously no. Moreover, its logic is ludicrous.

Suppose we had captured Osama bin Laden on 9/10 and immediately gone to work on him with our Alberto Gonzales-approved psychotropic drugs and our Alberto Gonzales-approved “waterboard” dunking technique. It wouldn’t take long for Osama’s pals to notice that he’d failed to show up at the Terrorcave. They’d assume that we had him and were torturing him. They’d assume that he’d tell us everything he knew. So they’d go to Plan B. Or develop a Plan C. No one in an underground organization, not even its top leader, is indispensable. Arrests are inconvenient, not debilitating.

The information a person possesses at the moment of his capture ages like a ripe cheese in hot sun. Even if what he told you at the beginning was true, anything you’d get out of him days and weeks and months and years later would be completely worthless.

Wait a minute.

Look at what we’re talking about. Consider the breezy way we Americans are debating the pros and cons of torture. Marvel at our moral bankruptcy. The liberal argument against torture used to be that it was wrong. Now it’s that it doesn’t work.

So… Read any good books lately? MTW

NEWSOFTHEWEIRD IS IT SAFE YET? The head of security at Boston’s Logan Airport revealed in December that travelers continue to appear so unfamiliar with restrictions that, three years after 9/11, his screeners still seize 12,000 prohibited items per month. Nationwide, the total since 2002 is nearly 17 million, including 2,200 guns, 79,000 box cutters and 5 million knives. And in December, a Republican congressman blasted the Department of Homeland Security for making “a joke” out of President Bush’s 2003 order to compile a comprehensive list of potential domestic terror targets. The list so far includes 80,000 sites and is termed by critics both too large and too small.

CITY COUNCIL TEDIUM In December, a California appeals court ordered a re-hearing on a zoning case because the petitioner, who was denied an extension of business hours, had not had a fair chance to argue to the Los Angeles City Council. A videotape of the hearing showed that, during petitioner’s presentation, council members talked on the phone or among themselves, wandered around the room, and read their mail, and the appeals court ruled that “due process” requires them to pay attention. And Councilman Dennis Pate of Eagle Lake, Fla., said in January that a formal rule was needed to prohibit spitting at meetings, in that a former city manager allegedly tried to unload on at him at a December session (but she denied it).

ISN’T SCIENCE WONDERFUL? In December, researchers at the Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield, England, told New Scientist magazine that they’re studying why ostriches are able to run so fast (about 20 mph) even though they are

heavy (over 200 pounds) and awkward-gaited.

The team’s work: They observe 15 ostriches running on treadmills.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Floyd Elliot, 22, was charged in December in Independence, Mo., with filing a false police report by claiming an assailant carved the vulgar slur “fag” on his forehead. Police were immediately suspicious because the letters were backward (as if made by someone looking in a mirror). Also in December, when Nicholas J. Valeri, 19, was arrested for allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a Wendy’s restaurant in Hempfield Township, Pa., he claimed innocence, saying that he inadvertently acquired the bill shortly before, while selling $240 worth of marijuana.

FINER POINTS OF THE LAW In Durham, N.C., in December, gang member Robert D. Johnson was sentenced to 15 years in prison for shooting off the genitals of a fellow Blood who was trying to leave the group. The jury rejected an even harsher penalty, for “malicious castration,” settling on “nonmalicious castration” because of evidence that Johnson actually shot the man in the leg but that the bullet just happened to exit his thigh and hit his penis.

1087 LIMAHANA PLACE • LAHAINA 661-9005 AWESOME! In December, a glowing hot wheel from a tractor-trailer came off on Interstate 84 in Idaho, then rolled across a frontage road and started several fires after it crashed into the home of Charisse Stevenson. According to a report in the Times-News (Twin Falls, Id.), Stevenson, seeing her 10-year-old son trapped by flames on the second floor of their home and separated by the red-hot wheel, moved it out of the way (though it weighs 250 pounds), scooped up her son (135 pounds), and carried him to safety.

That is because no one is trained to locate and treat these specific conditions like an ART specialist. We are very proud to have a team of ART Certified Providers in our office. This new technique is so different, that it has been granted a medical patent. Since our ART providers are qualified to diagnose and treat over 400 structures, we see a broad range of injuries and conditions. Seeing and ART Provider is like seeing a muscle and nerve specialist.

The Champ wakes up every morning, as he has done for the last five years, and prepares to box.

“Jesus is preparing me for hard work,” he says. “I am not afraid of hard work. I am only afraid of God!” The Champ is short and stocky. His name is Joe Soliven, but we’ll just call him the Champ. He has long salt and pepper hair he wears like an American Indian. He wears a black mesh t-shirt with a Nike Swoosh next to a gigantic white crucifix.

He kind of looks like David Carradine.

Every morning he walks and jabs from Paia Town to Sprecklesville.

“Usually I throw punches,” says the Champ in between jabs. “But nowadays I throw kisses, because I don’t want people to misunderstand.”

The Champ and I are walking out of Paia. People are honking, hooting and cheering on the Champ.

“God tells me to come here,” he says.

“He tells me ‘do not be shy, you have to go out and box today.’”

Jab, duck, jab, jab.

“I have been boxing 30 years,” the Champ suddenly announces in his thick Filipino accent, trilling his r’s. “I was amateur from 1959 to 1968. I was prrrrofesional from 1968 to 1972. Yes! Plus two years boxing in the United State Army.

Keep my body strong, healthy.”

But now the Champ is retired. “I

worked for 34 years in the county nursery service,” he says. “I was groundskeeper. A good lawn is the work of Jesus. Red tea leaves represent blood of Jesus! Now we shall exercise.”

What?

“Yes, exercise,” says the Champ, incredulous. “Come on. Even when you are young and healthy, you must exercise.”

We begin to walk towards Sprecklesville.

He’s jabbing and ducking as I’m trying to write.

“Jesus is what gets me going,” he says. “I wish everyone knew Jesus. I am shy.

Sometimes I want to hide and walk to Sprecklesville the beach way but the Lord says to me, ‘The people need your message.’ So, I cannot argue. I try and throw a kiss to each car that passes me. Or a punch.”

We keep walking and punching.

“Come, we must go to the beach and exercise,” he says. “Even when you are young, you must work out, praise Jesus!”

I really don’t like the beach. The sand gets in my shoes and I don’t like the sun. “No, Champ,” I tell him. “I’m gonna sit this one out.

But you go ahead. Knock ‘em out!”

“Hallelujah,” he says, jabbing. “I love you anyway, brother.”

Off the Champ goes, kissing and jabbing his way down the beach. I watch as he and his black mesh Nike Swoosh/Crucifix shirt gets smaller and smaller until finally, he fades out of sight. MTW

Body Mind

I’m an avid coffee drinker. I buy paper products from big box stores. I pay regular visits to my dentist, my optician and my gynecologist. I take aspirin for headaches. I have, on occassion, eaten a doughnut or two. I have a friend who thinks not swallowing toothpaste is an alternative health practice.

But I do yoga... sometimes. I’m familiar with Downward Facing Dog and even more familiar with Child’s Pose (the resting pose). I can tell you that that one pose where you have to cross your legs and balance on your elbows is a killer. But I couldn’t tell you the proper Hindu names for these postures.

I’ve been to a chiropractor, I’ve had many blissful massages— I even did a body wrap once at a local spa. I’ve read about Tantra and Zen meditation, I’ve spent time with the Buddha at Lahaina Jodo Mission. I shop at health food stores, I drink green tea (on the weekends), I take Echinacea when I’m sick, I buy organic produce. And I still have so much to learn.

Maui is a mecca for alternative health and wellness therapies.

According to recent statistics, these holistics constitute 33 percent of all healthcare on Maui. We have Chinese herbs and acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, reiki, shiatsu and lomilomi massage. There’s also Feldenkrais, Bach Flower Remedies, kinesiology, reflexology, aromatherapy, chakra balancing, alchemical synergy, qigong, ai chi, t’ai chi cuan, chi gung, feng shui. Gyrokinesis, pilates, aikido, holotropic breathwork, colon hydrotherapy—it can all be a bit overwhelming.

Learning about the world of Eastern and Western healing arts is a personal journey. With an open mind and a little faith, the possibilities for growth and happiness—as well as some mocking by your friends—are endless. Only you can determine what works for you and what doesn’t.

Anyway, this is just a sampling. [EDITED BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

The best answer It also doesn’t hurt, he said, to be the only is all of the above. man in a room full of gorgeous women.

In Swahili, Nia means with purpose. It also stands for Neuromuscular Integrative

To prepare for each class, Graue spends hours in her small studio at home, working with music and moving her body. “A lot of my time is spent listening, researching and preparing choreography to music. The healing potential of music is huge—it stimulates, relaxes, evokes and challenges our nervous system,” she said.

Growing up in a musical family, Graue discovered Nia back in 1996. She was managing a wellness center in Boulder, Colorado, and was looking for a way to relieve stress. When she found Nia, she thought: “This is it!”

When she walked into her first class, she said she could feel something different in the mood and the music. People were stretching, tuning into themselves and into the music surrounding them.

“When the class began, it sent me spinning and laughing and sweating and playing,” said Graue. “I felt like a kid, like my spirit came alive in a way it never had.” She laughed. “It was a blast. I knew right away it had to be my path.”

Five years later, she trained with Nia creators Debbie and Carlos Rosas, who founded Nia in Portland in 1983.

Teachers attend four weeks of training total, each one week long, to move through a belt system similar to martial arts—white, blue, brown and black belt.

Graue, who has earned her brown belt, said that the belts focus on specific Nia principles grounded in science, technique and art. The training to earn these belts include lessons in physiology, body/mind, music appreciation, choreography, anatomy, meditation and somatics (how to connect with the body).

At the present time, Nia has over 1,000 certified teachers in nearly every state in the U.S. and in many foreign countries.

On the mainland, Nia classes can now be found in health clubs, universities, dance schools, spas, hospitals--even prisons.

“Nia has changed the look and feel of fitness,” said Graue. “People in health clubs are now ridding themselves of linear, high impact movements—and they’re taking off their shoes.”

Although Graue was the first Nia teacher in Hawaii, there are now teachers on every island. As the demand for Nia grows, Graue hopes to see more Nia teachers join her here on Maui.

According to Graue, anyone can do

Nia. “I’m 58 years old and Nia is my youth pill,” said Maria Gardner of Haiku. “I feel more alive, I participate in life more. I’m not limited—I feel free.”

Near the end of class, Graue closes the curtains over the mirror and encourages students to move onto the floor, in what she calls “floor play.” The fast-paced free-spirited trance-dance evolves into a reclined meditation.

“Settle your joints down,” she says slowly. “Calm your body down, feel the movements, restore your energy, go within.” Some cover their face, most everyone closes their eyes. Graue whispers now, barely audible above the buzz of whirring fans.

Bodies begin to twist and turn in, rolling

like kittens on the floor. Some shape their bodies into bridge pose, others do push ups, stretching their limbs, pulsing and moaning. The music fades—the drums cease—the class, for today, ends.

As bodies emerge from the floor, faces shine with sweat and big grins. One blonde woman stops and sighs.

“Nia is so complete,” said Antje Rassloff of Germany. “You can let go of everything! It makes me feel strong and light, together.”

A “Zen Statement.”

By Eric Paul Shaffer Shudder.

If one of the missions of Zen Buddhism is to overcome ego, isn’t a focus on personality a little contradictory? Well, okay, I had my snit now, and I can move on. Feel free to ogle the bios if you must, but avoid the “Zen Statements.”

They harsh the mellow of some good poems.

Many expected Zen poets are here: Sam Hamill, Tess Gallagher, Diane diPrima, William Heyen, Jane Hirshfield and Anne Waldman. I prefer Zen that strives to avoid revealing itself in precious terminology and excessive description of “practice” that too rarely makes perfect. Happily, Hamill manages not to mention Zen, a commendable feat: “[T]he trees are doubly dark/Where no breeze lifts a leaf— nothing moves/that doesn’t move/toward sleep.”

Okay, we get it.

“I made mistakes,” said Wolfe, “but I’ve been a raw vegetarian for over 10 years now and I’m still alive.”

Based on the adage, “you are what you eat,” Wolfe went through a scientific process of how our body metabolizes certain foods. He said that when he “went raw,” the structure of his face changed.

His body became more flexible. He had more endurance. His penis got bigger.

Even his eye color changed slightly.

“Food that comes into our body leaves an imprint,” he said. “That’s how nutrition works.”

Wait, his penis got bigger?

He said that raw foods are about “getting all the goodies” and not sacrificing anything. It’s about adding—merely

At first we had a little trouble finding the Living Foods Lecture room at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. But we figured we hit the jackpot when we saw several people in hemp and Guatemalan attire. We were greeted immediately and told to pick up our meal-in-a-box on the table inside.

Alive and Well Healthfood’s Sha’anan created the evening’s living foods, or “raw foods,” meal tasting. It was comprised of a tonic, an entrée and a parfait. Reading through our lecture pamphlet revealed that the “tonic” was simply “a delicate blend of fresh-pressed Brazil nut-milk, aged antioxidant packed Noni juice, organic Maui-grown cacao, select spices, whole Irish Sea moss plant and a touch of amber agave.”

“This tonic is to die for,” said a woman in the back. “Or to LIVE for!” she added, laughing.

The Black Raspberry Hazelnut Custard and the Hana-Pahole Asparagus Foccacia Bread were also quite tasty and we devoured every last “living” crumb.

“I was gonna go to Kipahulu,” said one handsome, tunicwearing man behind us, “but I ended up staying with Woody.”

Woody. You know, as in Harrelson.

We soon found out the man was David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System and Eating for Beauty.

He’s also the 34-year-old CEO of www.rawfood.com and president of The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. He holds degrees in Mechanical and Environmental Engineering and Political Science, as well as a Juris Doctor in Law. He is a minister of The Essene Church of Christ, a rock drummer for the band The Healing Waters, nudist star of reality TV’s Mad Mad House and apparently, the “leading authority on raw-food nutrition, natural healing and vibrant living.”

Whoa—he can do all this, while eating nothing but raw foods? And he’s cute?!

We immediately considered joining his cult. But we were here to learn.

“Every moment is an opportunity for growth and inspiration,” he said, “allowing for us to feel more energy.”

Wolfe said he grew up on fast food, since his uncle was in the Jack-in-the-Box Corporation. He ate meat but then was a vegetarian for years before he started on a raw foods diet.

“I ate so many nuts,” said Wolfe, “I went nuts!”

The crowd laughed.

“I ate so many bananas,” he said, “I went bananas.

“I ate so many plums, I went plum crazy!”

opening up the options to what’s available to you. He emphasized that when you switch to raw foods, you can modify the recipes “you have to have” in order to keep all the flavors you love. Pizza, lasagna, banana cream pie— they can all be made using the living foods approach.

“For me it was chocolate chip mint ice cream,” Wolfe said, smiling. Then he sighed and wistfully looked off into the distance.

He started massively researching the cacao nut—“food of the gods!”—and source of cocoa and chocolate. Once he discovered he could have a vegan, raw foods version of his favorite dessert, he had nothing else for two days on the Big Island.

In fact, Wolfe told us the source of chocolate—the cacao bean—is one of the most antioxidant-rich foods, substantially more than red wine or green tea. It increases energy, is a mild diuretic, a cardiac stimulant and a great source of seratonin, the “happy” brain chemical.

The seminar is a blend of motivational speech, math class and infomercial. A very thin, ponytailed man named Sky speaks to the power of the e.pendant.

There are lots of people sitting around me. They have come to “unlock the mysteries of Sacred Geometry” at the Maui Mystery School in Kahului. It costs $10 to take this class.

There’s a table with a giant clear jar surrounded by piles of promotional literature.

A spacey-eyed Puerto Rican girl named Ieta hands me a promotional pamphlet. It has psychedelic graphics, with images of the Milky Way and a distant sun on the cover. It’s titled, MetaForms: The Journey Into FORM. It’s a catalog of all the things you can buy from the Sacred Geometry people. There are various geometric sculptures featured in the pages. For $279, you can buy the Peace Star, which “purifies the environment and reduces allergic irritation.” For a dollar more, you can get the Causal Vortex, which, as the catalog explains, is “the ultimate connection to the higher self.”

Perusing further into the pages I come across something called an “e.pendant.”

Several people in the class are, in fact, wearing these. It’s a small, shoddy-looking “goldplated” medallion with various rhinestones glued on. The catalog calls the e.pendant the “ultimate tool of empowerment.”

It’s named after owner Darren Jones’ firstborn daughter and pays homage to the family’s ties to Flatbush.

So one Saturday my neighbor Edna and I vowed to work off some of the holiday’s calories by walking to Café Brooklyn. We savored the pleasant Wailuku weather as we marched the hour’s walk to the café, perusing the other shops along the way. But when we got to the café we found it closed.

Locked! On a Saturday!

We went back on Monday. Arriving at 10 a.m. sharp, we were starving. Mitch Tetelman, Director of Food Service and Operations, greeted us immediately and rattled off the specials of the day. Angela Lani, the deli cashier, smiled as our eyes widened when we looked over our possible meal choices. We giggled and mentioned our earlier folly of stopping in for a Saturday lunch.

Well, he said, looking at our eager faces, he probably wouldn’t be opening on Saturdays because the town basically shuts down on weekends. But he did generously offer to cook for us anytime he was there on Sunday. In the meantime, he said, they were working on a delivery schedule.

That was great, but it didn’t help us decide what to eat. After a few weeks of meat and potatoes eating—don’t blame me: my father and father-in-law stayed with us for the holidays—I was ready for something different.

I chose the vegetarian Spanikopita Spinach Pie plate lunch, which cost all of $6. It came with a generous serving of crisp and warm spinach pie, basmati rice and a side salad (Caesar or mixed Kula greens). I tried the Caesar and the dressing was excellent.

Edna ordered the vegan carrot cashew pate in a spinach wrap for $10. Café Brooklyn’s vegan wraps are stuffed with

ly drowning in a delicious gravy. I also sampled the trio of salads ($11), which was just my pick of three of their five salads, which were then perched atop Kula greens, cukes, peppers, red onion, olives and sliced eggs.

My favorite was the free-range chicken salad, with the shrimp salad coming in a close second. Both were exquisitely flavored. The delicate flavors of the meats, dressing and veggies all mixed together were spectacular.

Alive & Well’s mission statement—provide the healthiest food possible—is printed right on the front of the menu. It’s something that all of our taste buds and bodies can enjoy. I can attest that I have never enjoyed a vegan meal so much in my life. MTW

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK

AS TOLD TO SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Aaron Smith Deli worker, Mana Foods

I got this job two days after I moved here. I’ve been working here now for four weeks. To be honest, I wasn’t too familiar with the health food world. I just needed anything with a steady income.

I work behind the deli counter. My job is to stock the salad and hot food bar—I don’t cook anything here. Mainly, I’m doing customer service. I like to see people smile and talk to them and stuff.

I’ve been working with food since I was 15. I even owned my own café in the Bay Area [of California]. Working here has opened my eyes to a whole new food industry. I meet a lot of interesting people here who are very picky about what they eat. They know exactly what’s in food— I’ve never experienced that before.

Lots of celebrities come through here.

I’ve met Ben Harper. I recognized him from all his tattoos on his arm. He’s the coolest—he even gave me an autograph for my daughter with a little flower doodle on it. And I’ve met Weird Al Yankovich— he’s just like he is on TV. Apparently, Woody Harrelson comes in here a lot. Willie Nelson would be crazy to meet, too.

Probably the weirdest thing we serve is the Seaweed Salad—the Pohole and Hijiki. It’s actually very good.

I don’t buy all of my groceries here but I do get my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter oatmeal cookies and soy milk. MTW

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

JANUARY 20, 2005

23

Lisa Loeb Sunday, 7:30 p.m. at McCoy Studio Theater [MUSIC] Lisa Loeb is mostly known for her hit singles “Stay (I Missed You” and “And I Do.” Hmm... sounds like love songs to me. Anyway, now she has a new release, The Way It Really Is... which has been called “an engaging literal and philosophical examination of life and love, rich in lyrical and musical detail.” Yep, love again! So we decided to ask this Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter a few questions about—you guessed it—l’amour. Sort of.

Maui Time Weekly: A friend of ours, who is gay, has another friend, who is not gay, but flirts with him constantly...

Lisa Loeb: Oh, he’s gay. Your friend should talk to his friend directly and say, you know, “what are you doing? Are you actually flirting with me or-?” I would just be direct. It’s hard to be honest but if it’s a confusing situation, they either need to get a straight answer—oh, that’s a funny pun!—from their friend or if it’s really distracting them then they need to just avoid hanging out with that person. It’s too confusing.

This guy we know has a roommate who is really mean to girls.

How does he tell his roommate to chill out without sounding like a wuss and still maintain his friendship?

Maybe he tells him in that “bro” style of voice? Like, “hey man, be cool.” But take the high road and be direct—again, be direct with him and say “hey, I don’t mean to sound like a wimp but you shouldn’t be so uncool to these girls.”

Another friend asks, what is the secret to long-term relationships?

Communication. And also, maintaining your individuality. You need to be a person—keep your own individual interests—that’s why you got together in the first place, ‘cause you were attracted to the other person.

Tickets: $28. Call the box office at 242-7469. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Free Popcorn!

Pilobolus

Thursday, 3:30-5:30 p.m. at Whaler’s Village in Ka’anapali [SPORTS] Hey, kids, you know what time it is? That’s right! It’s Sixth Annual Hula Bowl Family Fun Fest time! And Dick Kazmaier will be there!

THE Dick Kazmaier, the Princeton tailback who won the Heisman Trophy in 1951! And he’s going to be available for photographs and autograph signings. Wow, Dick Kazmaier. I totally thought he was dead. But no, him being still alive is way cool. Oh, and they’re serving up lots of free popcorn and shave ice and holding unspecified-at-press-time “games and activities for the whole family.” Oh, and the whole thing is going to be broadcast live on KAOI radio, so please keep the foul language to a minimum. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]

Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater, MACC [DANCE] Piolobolus is a crazy—the good kind—modern dance performance that turns into living human sculpture. They combine dance, acrobatics, theater and mime to “crawl, leap, roll, ripple, glide, or morph” or any other such verbs you can think of.

Sort of like some of our more creative hippie parents, Pilobolus takes their name from a sun-loving fungus that grows in barnyards and pastures and blasts its spores “like clowns out of a cannon.”

Tickets are $10, $18 and $25. Keiki get tickets at halfprice. Call the box office at 242-7469.

Ooklah the Moc

Warsaw Poland Bros.

Friday-Saturday, 10 p.m. at Hapa’s

Saturday-Sunday, 10 p.m. at the SandBar [MUSIC] Warsaw Poland Bros. is a ska-reggae band from Arizona. I’ve heard them described as “gangster ska,” “dub-friendly, ambient ska with Celtic and punk influences” and “Bad Religion meets the Pogues with a Jamaican twist, a modern day Clash” (Honolulu Weekly). Whatever the case may be, the Poland Bros. band members are skilled and diverse—and maybe just plain crazy—enough to be touring for eight solid years. They’ve also opened for the likes of No Doubt, Blink-182, The Offspring, Jack Johnson, Ozomatli— you get the idea, they’re good. And they’re sponsored by Jagermeister and Mentos.

Ingenious! So you can drink the devil’s juice and have fresh breath! And they have horns, people! Tallyho! Cover: $7, both nights. For info, visit www.invisiblemass.com.

[MUSIC] A strictly roots dub reggae band with nine members, Ooklah the Moc is a Hawaiian band intent on spreading “Jah love and Jah music.” Friends all over the island tell me that this lively, spiritual and positive reggae band is the show to see, based on their last appearance here a few months ago. One friend in particular said he had so much fun last time, he’ll definitely see them again. Although, I think that has more to do with the fact that he had such a good time at that last show that he can’t remember how good they were but no matter. Tickets are $TKTK. An all-ages show is on Saturday. Check out their website at www.ooklahthemoc.com.

Assault On Precinct 13 will function as a passable thriller for audiences not familiar with the original movie, but fails to resonate on the visceral level that Carpenter’s film achieved.

John Carpenter originally used Howard Hawkes’ classic 1959 western Rio Bravo as a stepping off point to create a new breed of urban suspense thriller. What Carpenter didn’t do was attempt to remake Rio Bravo by moving it up 30 years. The problem with Hollywood’s affinity for remaking films is that, as with The Manchurian Candidate, there isn’t enough narrative room to go in any direction without bumping into the predecessor’s old furniture.

Audiences go to the cinema to be inspired, regardless of their chosen movie’s genre. That inspiration can come from any direction of narrative substance, but it has to contain a certain degree of internal enlightenment to be fully satisfying. Abel Ferrara’s King Of New York is a great example of a genre movie that squeezes an audience by their guts because the director sees so deeply inside the milieu he’s representing onscreen that every detail adds momentum to the story.

The filmmakers here attempt to coast on the success of Training Day, which paired Ethan Hawke with Denzel Washington in a glorious Los Angeles translation of Ferrara’s shining 1992 achievement Bad Lieutenant. The shocking opening scene in Assault has a speeded-out Ethan Hawke spieling off a rapidfire monologue to menacing drug dealers that he and his undercover partners have Why do you get the big gun?

New This Week ARE WE THERE YET? – (PG) – Romantic Comedy - The fledgling romance between a playboy bachelor (Ice Cube) and a divorced mother of two (Nia Long) is threatened by a particularly harrowing New Year's Eve, when he offers to bring the little brats to her work in the city from Washington D.C. ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 – (R) – Action/Adventure/Crime/Gangster – This is a remake of John Carpenter’s second film, and hits all the usual shoot-‘em-up notes: deranged gang bent on springing an incarcerated mobster lays siege to an undermanned police station. Ethan Hawke plays the cop in charge who ends up arming Lawrence Fishburne and the other jailbirds to defend the station.

BEYOND THE SEA – (PG13) – Drama, Romance, Musical – Kevin Spacey directs, stars and sings as the egomaniacal crooner Bobby Darin, charismatic singer of "Mack the Knife."

Lovely brown/blue-eyed Kate Bosworth plays his wife, the movie star Sandra Dee. LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU – (R) – Comedy – A decidedly quirky Wes Anderson flick about an internationally famous oceanographer (Bill Murray), who along with his possibly long lost son (Owen Wilson), takes his wingnut crew (headed by a brilliantly wussy Willem Dafoe) on an expedition to hunt down the elusive Jaguar Shark that killed his partner. Also along for the ride is a beautiful pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett), the oceanographer’s estranged wife and benefactor (Anjelica Huston)—hellooo, sugar mama!—and some other such obstacles, like pirates, bankruptcy, kidnapping, insurance concerns and Jeff Goldblum.

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! Also with Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn and Kate Beckinsale as Ava Gardner.

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!

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou strangers who have chance encounters and overlapping attractions. Sounds hilarious. Also stars Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 allstar casts but Bobby De Niro, Tootsie and Babs? C’mon!

NATIONAL TREASURE – (PG) – Action/Adventure – Nicholas Cage and Diane Kruger star in this quest to 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.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

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...

KUKUI MALL

WHITE NOISE - (PG13) - Thriller - Jonathan Rivers (Michael Keaton) plays a man whose peaceful existence is shattered by the unexplained death of his wife Anna, and who is eventually contacted by a man claiming to be receiving messages from Anna through “household recording devices.” What the hell are “household recording devices?!”

BY SARAH CALLENDER

The Power of Mythistorians Beyond Reality Strikes Back: The Return of the Maui New Age Comedy Show In the 1980s PBS show The Power of Myth, author Joseph Campbell discussed the role of artists in society. “The function of the artist,” he told Bill Moyers, “is the mythologization of the environment and the world.” Artists, he said, were responsible for creating myths that could make reality more palatable and comprehensible for everyone else.

Rachel Deboer, Crystalia Dakini and Jennifer Jensen of the Mythistorians, a Maui performance troupe, are happy to assume this responsibility. “We are rewriting legends and myths,” says Deboer. “We create a new mythology for the island.”

Deboer came to Maui a few years ago to teach at the Maui Academy of Performing

interpretation of the classic hero’s journey.

“In all my performances, the audience is asked to participate,” says Deboer. “The most important thing about theater is that it is healing and not self-indulgent. It’s not about audiences passively watching. It is about the collective consciousness.”

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote of the feeling that there is an omniscient author somewhere writing the novel of our lives and that seemingly random events are actually the unfolding of a complex plot. But Deboer and the Mythistorians take a much more existential view. They believe we are the authors of our own lives and, as such, view themselves as guides, giving their audiences the tools to create something positive and

“EVERYBODY LIVES ON AN ISLAND, IN A WAY. EVERYONE SHOULD TREAT PEOPLE AS IF THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN.” Arts. While still teaching theater to children and adults, Deboer brought together a group of performance artists who shared her passion for what she calls “sacred theater.”

Calling themselves the Mythistorians, they explore themes she says take on the “larger concept of why humans are here, bring the divine into everyday life and question what people believe.” Utilizing this view, last year the group produced Beyond Reality, a popular play that introduced a motley cast of characters that travel to Maui to participate in group therapy.

“We created characters that we see here on the island,” says Deboer. “We brought that mirror to people.”

The characters seek respite from their daily lives as well as a healthy dose of spirituality. They include a dreamy hippie, a tantric sex goddess and a neurotic New York businesswoman.

The Mythistorians’ newest play, Beyond Reality Strikes Back: The Return of the Maui New Age Comedy Show, revisits the same group as they return to Maui for further “healing.” It blends their story with elements from Star Wars to describe their psychological and spiritual quest.

The fully interactive event—the Mythistorians request the audience to wear costumes reflecting their favorite spiritual figure, mythic being or Star Wars character—utilizes Polynesian and European mythology, comedy, visual media, music and drama to create a new

teach others to do the same.

“Your effect on [your environment], whether negative or positive, is seen,” says Deboer. “Everybody lives on an island, in a way. Everyone should treat people as if they are going to see them over and over again.”

The assumed role of the Mythistorians is reflected in Beyond Reality Strikes Back through the mermaid characters.

the play,” says writer and actor Jennifer Jensen. “[The play] is our own take on what it is that humanity needs to be able to shift course and become more positive and life-affirming.”

The Mythistorians have found that this search for connectedness is what brings their characters—as well as real-life tourists—to Hawaii in the first place. Besides golden brown tans and pookah shell necklaces, they say people are looking for something that will give their lives more meaning. But as they quickly find, 10 days in paradise aren’t quite enough.

“The spiritual scene that is happening on Maui is really happening everywhere,” says Jensen. “[But people] are not getting it. We have to create this rich inner life. We need to create a rich psyche. That has to do with art and culture. Evocations of myths expressed through song and dance. We have all these people on Maui that are channeling this idea. Create something new. Revive the paradise that we know we can have. Create it within yourself so that you can have it in your life.” MTW

Frankie Sez...

This week on ‘North Shore’

In this, the season finale, Nicole gets the news about Jason. The DEA tells Jason “It’s Vincent we want!” Alex, still down on her profit quotas, tries to buy the club from Frankie. Chris tries to see things “from Alex’s perspective,” but Frankie insists she’s no good. Jason meets Vincent, but he doesn’t wear his wire. What a genius! Then MJ makes friends with a visiting performer and sings with her in the club. Alex hassles Tessa about her hospitality to some underage girls who happen to be VIP guests. But then they get too drunk and—surprise!—the LC shuts down the club. Thanks, Alex! Now she’s got what she wanted but Chris sees her for what she is. That means no more friends for Alex.

Line of the Week “Tessa is a Leopard that changed her spots, Alex is just a snake.” _Frankie to Chris after he shacked up with the boss.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Use your words, Aquarius. Your unconventional means of communication aren’t getting through. I know you’d like to convey your love through the way you play soccer, cook or scrub toilets. But the people you want to reach aren’t attuned to these kinds of subtleties at the moment. They’d like to believe that you scored that goal, made that quiche, or cleaned that bathroom just for them, but it’s too easy to be dissuaded from faith in these gestures by their own negative self-images. They need something a little less open to interpretation. Sorry, you can’t shimmy out from under this one. You’ve got to simply say: “I love you.”

HIV COUNSELING AND TESTING

Hell if you can remember the last place you put your keys, or whether you paid the phone bill, or how often you’re supposed to water the plants or change the oil in your car. But you can recall exactly what your lover was wearing on the night you met, and the first three words ever said to you by your infant niece, and precisely how to make your grandmother’s famous brownies. These are more important things, ultimately. You and I know this; it’s too bad so many people around you think it’s more vital to know where your house key’s hiding. Cluing them in is hopeless. Just don’t take their angst or criticism too seriously. You remember the important stuff; the rest will sort itself out.

(AAN CAN)

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You’d like to stab your difficulties in the heart and kill them dead. It’s a strategy that usually works for you.

But you can’t murder this problem, since it’s a person, whose death by ice-pick would certainly be noted and investigated. Therefore you must pursue more subtle and less drastic policies and strategies this week.

Unfortunately, your usual alternative to merely eliminating sources of hostility—fleeing them—is also not currently viable. Yep, sorry: The only way you can resolve your current difficulty—that bastard pain in the ass—is to learn to live with him (or her).

NOTICES

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Beware inertia. Allow yourself to be moved too much or too quickly by the forces exerted on or around you, and you could be, quite involuntarily, moving in that direction miles further than you wished. These potshots were meant to momentarily deflate your ego, not send you flying willy-nilly in all directions like a sputtering balloon. Be immovable this week. Let’s practice: Someone mentions your weight. Do you plunge into depression and gorge on donuts, ice cream and pie? Or do you pursue a torturous diet for the next three months? Neither, I hope. The appropriate response is, probably, a nod (or the finger) and a swift change of subject.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) My boyfriend will go to great lengths to rescue insects-in-distress. He’s attuned to the suffering of tiny creatures in a way that perhaps only Jainists and hardcore vegans could identify with. Emulate him this week; there are those who could use your assistance but they’re broadcasting their need so subtly and quietly that you could miss it unless you’re paying incredibly close attention. What are you waiting for? Get right down there with a magnifying glass and take a look at all the little stuff going on in your life right now; that’s where the action is.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You can do amazing things right now without hardly trying. A snap of your fingers could have houses cleaned, banquets prepared and red carpets rolled out, all for you. Mary Poppins you’re not; these seemingly supernatural effects all stem from the incredible willingness of those around you. Be aware of that this week. Many people are busting their balls for you, both in the open and behind the scenes. Accept the help, since they’re so eager to give it, but don’t take it for granted. Be sure that every favor you receive is awarded its proper share of gratitude.

Maui Lawn Works

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) You’ve been stepping over and around your own messes for weeks now. What a slob. I know how things get, though. You’ve got more pressing and important things to attend to than simply cleaning up after yourself. You even tried to be responsible, by deciding that by this week, at the very latest, you’d finally tidy up, do laundry, wash the dishes and pay the bills. Think again. You forgot to take into account the Leo Full Moon on the 25th, which will have you hopping over piles of dirty clothing and neglecting the houseplants for at least seven more days.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Fellow Virgo Anna Kingsford (one of the first female doctors in 19th century Britain) violently opposed the practice of vivisection, and some prominent scientists who used it. She vowed to kill them with thought waves. When Claude Bernard, one of these, died only a few weeks after she began her mental hexing, she became convinced she was the instrument of divine will. (She also claimed responsibility for the death of Paul Bert, another vivisector). Please don’t emulate her example. Your convictions are generally smarter and “better” than most people’s.

But there’s a difference between advocating your point of view and attempting to enforce it. This week (and, of course, in general), remember: the former’s fine, but the latter’s almost always a huge mistake.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) It’s mid-January and the trees outside my window are budding. This ain’t good. It’s supposed to be snowy and miserable out. My local spring-like weather is confusing, and not just for the trees, but for the people around you as well—those who are used to a slightly chillier treatment by you Libras feel more baffled and bewildered by your balmier banter than eased by it. There’s a time to thaw and be warm and welcoming. This isn’t it. You’re sending all the wrong signals. That doesn’t mean you need to be a cold-hearted bitch. Just be careful about making yourself into an angel; it’ll only lead to disappointment, bitterness and, in the worst cases, ugly reprisal.

MISCELLANEOUS

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) What happened to your clichéd (but still impressive) reputation as a sexual virtuoso? Two other signs have recently nearly overtaken you in that particular department. Is this just an ebb, or are you moving on to the next thing? Either one’s fine by me, but if you still want to retain your title of reigning sensual superhero, you’re going to need to put out, or at the very least flirt your ass off. Some of the faithful have begun to doubt your prowess, not to mention your horniness. Just not feeling it? Not sure you can pull off a comeback at the moment? Just dip your toe in the pool; I think indulging in a tiny dose of hedonism will have you diving in without further delay.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You know you’re just a regular guy or gal, but to some of the people you encounter, you’re as loaded with sexy disguises, impressive tricks and cool gadgets as any TV secret agent. It’s enough to make most folks a little weak in the knees, even if they’re pretty good at hiding it. But your willingness to try new foods, learn other languages, or have sex with anyone hot—regardless of gender or skin color—can impress to the point of deterrence. In this case, a little light-hearted, self-disparaging propaganda could actually be in your best interest. In other words, don’t bother trying to hide that you’re more or less a stud—just be sure to also advertise that you’re capable of being a screw-up, too.

You can understand why some people are daunted by you, can’t you? Meeting you is like opening the first fat novel in a trilogy that’s not even completed yet. They can see that getting to know you will be a long trip, requiring persistence and patience. So have some tolerance for people when they’re shy or reticent around you. You’re a lot to wrap one’s head around, let alone contemplate trying to understand completely. It’s not really your responsibility to make yourself more accessible, but in case that matters to you, consider modifying your press packet; a nice dust jacket summary and a few quotable chunks of praise should do nicely.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

Losing 12 Inches To Gain 30 Centimeters More Hero The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured. -Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson We spent a little more time at Idini’s this week, as BJ and I mourned the loss of the Sly Mongoose in Lahaina as our neighborhood pub. Now that we live in Wailuku, we’re doing walking tours instead of riding our cruisers. Only nobody walks in Wailuku so we’re more cardodging than anything.

Last Friday, I went to Charley’s in Paia for a quick beer and to say a not-so-quick hi to Billy.

He’s been working non-stop to save up money for a show in February featuring jazz greats Roy Hargrove and Herbie Hancock. Of course, the show is in Seattle. Because Billy has a certain caustic urban wit, and he’s such a kickass musician who would appreciate and benefit from more of these shows, I asked him why he doesn’t just move back to that hip, rainy city.

He said he’s already seen the best shows—they happen so frequently there. It’s just too much pressure.

“It’s like shootin’ heroin,” he said. “You don’t wanna chase the high.”

Then I went to Milagros, where bartender Dave shot me flirty—or angry, I can’t really tell—looks. I sat next to Scott—a.k.a. “Strawberry”—formerly of the long, red, curly locks. He lifted his cap to show me that his infamous locks were no more. Turns out he donated 12 inches to wig production for people with cancer, in honor of his dad.

Dear Scott may look like a little Dutch boy now, but he’s our most manly hero.

“No—you look like Carrot Top,” said Reeny. Somehow, she meant that to be a compliment. The bar uttered a collective groan.

“Of all the people here,” said Reeny, trying to recover, “you’re the only one I like—I would never want to be mean to you.” Scott forgave. The bar harrumphed.

Kirsten and I did our ritual shot of Jack Daniels as she told me that her last day of service at Milagros would be Sunday. She invited me to join her at the bar after her shift. I told her I’d be the first to come.

“That’s the girl you wanna be at the orgy,” said Scott.

Then Scott, Kirsten and I politely discussed the protocol of such licentious revelry born of esoteric religious rituals in the worship of Dionysus. Yeah, we were talking about group sex.

Then Steph joined us for another shot of Jack, Dave continued looking at me like he knew something and I showed off my new red shoes from If the Shoe Fits. The shoes were really hot but mainly I bought them because the salesgirl was cute. See how marketing works? But now my feet were hurting.

“That’s because [shoe designer] Steve Madden is a guy,” said Reeny. “And he’s not gay.

So you know he’s never tried on those shoes.”

On Sunday, I made BJ tape the Golden Globe Awards for me while I headed out to celebrate Kirsten’s last night at Milagros. Sasha met me at the bar soon after. Eventually, we left for quieter pastures, stopping by Charley’s and, eventually, the SandBar. Reeny came by later, a little wet and smelling like marshmallow because of a whipped cream frenzy she instigated at Milagros.

Damnit, I always miss the good stuff! Then Sasha and I discussed whether we would get tongue piercings. We both agreed that we’d rather have boyfriends with them than get them done ourselves.

“I do enough already,” she said. “Let the guy get one.”

It was open mic night at the SandBar. We heard this guy Kenny sing of being a “concerned citizen.” He was good and the song sounded like a Willie Nelson hit in the making. And then lovely Annick sang and played acoustic guitar.

I told Sasha that Annick was not only beautiful, but she was also a professional windsurfer and photographer. And now there she was, singing and playing guitar quite well, too. And she’s a nice girl.

I decided that I hated her.

“Don’t hate her because she’s talented,” Sasha told me.

I don’t understand why not. It’s the balance of the universe. You do something well and people hate you for it. That’s just how it goes.

Then this three-man rap crew named Catastrophic did their hip-hop thang onstage.

They were great. Our favorite was when they said “cata” and we said “strophic.” Cata. Strophic.

Cata. Strophic. We couldn’t stop saying it all night. MTW
