LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR THANKS FOR KANAHA Kanaha is no place for scrap metal processing (See “Big Squeeze,” Apr. 7 and “Explosive,” Apr. 14). Your average car, truck, and 4x4 contain many fluids. They are to be removed if the vehicle is to be crushed and baled. The removal process is not simply pulling a plug and letting gravity do the work. Lines need to be purged with compressed air. There will always be residual fluids trapped in cavities throughout the car. When the vehicle is crushed and baled, these fluids could be set free, dripping out of machinery during the process. When it rains, these fluids can be flushed to the ground, into Kanaha Pond and the water table—exactly the opposite of what any environmental agency or Department of Health would authorize. Many of these vehicles will be dripping with fluids upon arrival at the site due to the fact that the crushing process was already started on the highway via an accident. In this condition, proper removal of fluids may not be possible. Location of the facility and the methods to prevent contamination is the issue, not which company gets the contract. Under these circumstances, zoning is a non-issue. It comes down to location, location, location. The people, who can change the zoning by a vote of yea or nay do so and the deal is done. It’s called intelligent longterm planning. From all over Maui, tow trucks will be dragging in abandoned vehicles, some full of garbage and weeds. Cars will have windows open or broken setting up a perfect environment for mosquitoes and rats. The pile of scrap metal will need to build up to a volume that proves economical to bring a barge to Kahului Harbor to haul the scrap away. The more compact the vehicle and the rate in which vehicles are brought in, will determine how long the pile sits. If there were to be a fire at this harbor area, it would put at risk Maui Electric, the fuel storage tanks, etc. The fire and toxic

smoke blowing towards the populous of Kahului and Wailuku would not be described by the Fire Department as “negligent.” It would be described as “catastrophic.” -Martha Vockrodt-Moran, Makawao

AND MA’ALAEA This paper’s attention to the problem of Ma’alaea tour boat operators dumping human feces, urine and disinfectants in our ocean for decades is much appreciated (See “More Pumping, Less Dumping,” Jan. 13 and “Trying to Save Life,” Feb. 3). The one operator which promised to haul the waste away for treatment, failed to follow through on most of its operation. This is the largest operator out of Ma’alaea and claims to promote responsible ecotourism. Pumping is the immediate and relatively inexpensive solution and should be implemented now. We all agree that pressure should be put on the government to upgrade the facilities at the harbor. For anyone intending to take an ocean tour, please consider the problem and ask your captain to “pump, don’t dump.” -Richard Fairclo, Kihei

Will you people just please eat your frickin’ vegetables? Though he’s balding and talks a little like Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Michael Greger is a very scary guy. Especially if you listen to him after you’ve eaten a bacon cheeseburger. “I am today not the paragon of health that I have been called, but I will try to muddle through,” the Boston medical doctor said Apr. 15 before asking how many in

While the CDC gave it a nearly perfect score last December, it found some problems that really make it tough to put the “Love” in Love Boat. There was the problem with recording the freezing temperature of the smoked fish—Clostridium Botulinum can really suck the life out of your relationship—but the real troubles were in the cabins themselves. “The in cabin whirlpool tubs were not disinfected on a weekly basis,” the report noted. “The vessel changed it’s [sic] itinerary from 7 day to 15 day cruises. During the 7 day cruises the tubs were disinfected on embarkation days and they did not change this procedure after the cruise duration changed.” Captain Stubing would never have allowed that. -Anthony Pignataro

Gregor spoke for about an hour, then his voice gave out. His thesis— which he said is supported by the weight of many scientific studies and meta-studies—is that the best way to fight cancer is to avoid exposure to carcinogens like pesticides. And the best way to do that is to eat a “plant-based diet.” “Pork, beer, chicken, cheese and fish are the highest sources of dioxin here in the United States,” he said, singling out fast food as the worst culprit and making at least one audience member curse his earlier lunch selection. “Dioxins are stored in animal fat and the higher you go up the food chain the more concentrated the levels are… Meat eaters just seem to be oozing carcinogens from their bodies.” Greger hit fast food a couple times. “The federal government spends $10 million a year on promoting healthy eating,” he said. “McDonald’s spends that much in 48 hours.” It was a given that Greger would get a few laughs with his “Now, the beef industry disagrees” line. But he also made clear that even vegans can’t escape cancer completely, what with the world poisoned by 1950s nuclear bomb tests, diesel fumes and new car smell. Still, Greger said that eating greens—or, as he pronounced them, “guhreeeens”—every day would halve the odds of getting cancer. “The scientific community just discovered a way to boost the liver’s ability to fight carcinogens, and that way is called… broccoli!” he said. “Broccoli helps your body take out the trash.” The key is the antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. After calling kale “the cheapest health insurance in the U.S.,” Greger talked about the virtues of various foods—not hesitating to drop a bad pun here and there. “The healthiest foods are those with the brightest colors,” he said, pointing out that red cabbage has 10 times the antioxidants of ordinary, boring green cabbage. “We Americans eat a lot of beige foods… The colors themselves are the antioxidants. They come literally out of the blue!” The same is true of flavors. “The more bitter your Brussels sprout is, the better it is,” he said. “We shouldn’t breed bitterness out. The flavors themselves are antioxidants. You should curry favor with your body.” Actually, oregano is probably better than curry. “Oregano is really good,” Greger said. “It has 40 times more antioxidants than blueberries and 1000 times more than anything most

Cancer killers? Americans eat… Just grow it yourself. Oregano is a weed!

The most important thing the Maui County Liquor Commission will do is going on right now and the commissioners don’t seem to give a damn about it. I’m referring to the revising of the Liquor Rules—the bible that tells the LC where to get off. The massive process came up during the Feb. 9 and Apr. 13 Commission hearings. The Retail Liquor Dealers Association’s request for a rule change prompted the first discussion; Haleakala Distillers instigated the second talk on Apr. 13. In neither meeting did any of the commissioners ask about the vastly complex and important matter of rewriting the rules. In fact, the commissioners have so far asked zero questions on the record about the whole rulechanging process. They haven’t discussed it during any hearing and haven’t showed the slightest bit of interest in them, even though revising the county’s liquor laws is by far the most important thing they will be doing during their terms of office. No one has even put on the record any discussion of the LC’s plan to hold public hearings on the revised rules, though Liquor Control Director Franklyn Silva has mentioned them on two occasions. It’s not like the Commissioners simply aren’t paying attention. For instance, in his very first meeting as Commission Chairman on Apr. 13, Donald Fuji pointed out a tiny, arcane error on page 185 of the minutes of the Mar. 9, 2005 Commission meeting minutes. So after the Apr. 13 Commission hearing I asked Silva when the LC was going to hold public hearings on the rule changes. He very patiently explained that first they’d go through the rules carefully. Then they’d hold workshops, first with industry groups, then with small business associations. Then they’d hold public hearings in Wailuku, the West Side, Hana, Molokai and Lanai. Then they’d write up the revised rules. “The whole thing will take about a year,” Silva said. That was great, I said. When are you going to hold public hearings? “No idea,” he said. How beautiful that would look in the Commission minutes. MTW

MAUICOUNTY Statement (EIS) on the proposed Superferry is unfair. Other ships dock there, she said—why shouldn’t they have to do an EIS? “I think [the Superferry] should be treated like everybody else,” Lingle said. Oh, boo hoo. Can her majesty and the rest of the Superferry crew please come up with a better argument? One that isn’t so fallacious? Contrary to the good governor, the Superferry needs an EIS because it’s nothing like the freighters that normally dock in Kahului Harbor. Those freighters and barges use the harbor as it is, but the Superferry requires a $40 million expansion of the harbor in order to start docking. Look, the Superferry may be a wonderful idea whose time has come that will have minimal impact on our environment. Where’s the harm in doing the study to find out?

In a far-too-brief story the Associated Press reports today that Republican Governor Linda Lingle says she’s running for reelection in 2006. Yeehaw! And she’s got an excellent chance of winning, too. Look at her record. She’s done a lot of… things, really, for the state and stuff. Like that time she signed that bill that… did stuff. Or that time she advocated better public schools… okay, that one didn’t go so well, what with the state can’t even meet the standards her fellow Republican George W. Bush set up. But she’s tight with big business—so much so that she’s now shilling for the Maui Land and Pineapple Company’s Superferry—so that pretty much makes it a lock.

It’s kinda funny how the state DLNR can’t seem to do its job and the DOT has its arms wrapped around its accident stats real tight, but over at the University of Hawaii—not so funny. The university is trying to cut a $50 million deal with the U.S. Navy to open a new military-industrial complex wing and conduct “classified research,” something the state Senate is considering looking into. “If you want to do big science, if you want to do cutting-edge science, you can’t do it on a shoe-string,” interim School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology dean Klaus Keil told the AP on Monday. Big science? What do you these guys want to do—build a nuclear submarine? Of course, Urban and Regional Planning professor Karl Kim—is there a name alliteration requirement for tenure or something?—disagrees, telling the AP that such research is “not consistent with our values and our core commitments.” I suppose, but what worries me most is the thought of some stoner undergrad dropping Doritos into the new death ray.

Oh, the wonders of our state government never cease to amaze me. According to a great story in today’s Honolulu Advertiser, the state Department of Transportion (DOT) has been quietly spending years investigating—at taxpayer expense, mind you—dangerous traffic areas but refuses to make the information public or even available to other state agencies. Most states are more than happy to share such information with the driving public, but not ours. Seems our DOT worries about getting sued, even though the Advertiser points out that state and federal laws protect the department. In response to an Advertiser request, the state Office of Information Practices has ruled that all this traffic accident data is public, but is unfortunately also cool with the state refusing to release it in electronic form, which according to the paper makes “it largely useless for scientific, academic and other analysis.”

recent managerial vacancies and the large number of vacant operating positions and chronic lack of funding may accelerate an irreparable and irretrievable loss of public trust resources,” the House approval read in part. Young has said he’ll cooperate with audit, which is more than he said last month when a bunch of local environmental groups blasted him for the very same reasons that prompted the government audit.

“NO PAIN...NO STAIN”

COCONUT WIRELESS

the first time he’s spoken since, well, ever.

Board of Land and Natural Resources Chairman Peter T. Young penned an editorial in today’s Maui News. The state official most responsible for Hawaii’s natural resources has been under fire from local environmental groups for being incompetent and far too deferential to commercial interests. Young ignores the controversy, but uses the editorial to preach “ho’okuleana”—the idea that we all need to take responsibility for the land. “No one constituency, no one community, no one resource management entity has the sole responsibility for, and jurisdiction over, the resources,” he wrote, seemingly forgetting that the state mandated his agency to oversee state lands. “Resource protection is not about us and it’s not about now. It is about protecting and preserving our natural and cultural resources for people we will never meet, the generations to come.” Strong words, Young. How come you didn’t say them last year when the whole issue of commercial kayakers paddling around the once pristine and still sensitive ‘Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve near La Perouse Bay was boiling over? Oh yeah: you were too busy recommending—over the strenuous objections of the many dozens of Hawaiian activists who crowded DLNR public hearings—that we should still let the companies dump their plastic boats, suntan lotions and tourists into the Reserve. And people wonder why environmentalists want you gone.

In March, an Iowa administrative law judge denied Barbara J. Dutton unemployment benefits, ruling that her firing as supply clerk at a 12-person Des Moines company was justified by her incompetence. According to records cited by the judge, Dutton had earnestly ordered office supplies during an 18-month period totaling about $230,000, including 16,000 Bic pens and nearly $15,000 worth of Scotch tape. Since there was no evidence of dishonesty, the company was left with the conclusion that she was simply overmatched in her job.

But a few years back, far from the prying eyes of Western business writers, in the dusty capital of the remote former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, Jockey tried to reinvent itself as a high-end men’s formalwear designer. Electricity was spotty and civil war was raging in neighboring Tajikistan, but Kyrgyzstan was flush with loans from the International Monetary Fund. The mere existence of the Jockey store, overstaffed with supermodel-quality Kyrgyz women wearing identical black microminis, testified to the optimism infecting Bishkek during the giddy summer of 1997. “Does anybody shop here?” I asked a

Tajikistan in an ongoing campaign to overthrow Uzbek dictator Islam Karimov. Militants of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), trained by the Taliban in Afghanistan, were pushed back into southern Kyrgyzstan at the Uzbek border. The impoverished Kyrgyz army, unable to afford heavy artillery, was overrun by both the invasion and the retreat. Though the IMU has been scattered and is considered relatively dormant today (an IMU squad recently engaged U.S. troops in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas), their committed agitation between 1997 and 2003 inspired Tajiks and other resentful ethnic minorities by demonstrating the weakness of the Bishkek government. The IMU example also showed conservative Ferghanans who wanted to replace the

salesgirl. She assured me that people did. “Do they ever buy anything?” She giggled nervously. An average Kyrgyz worker would need a decade’s salary to take home a styling Jockey suit. Alone among the Central Asian republics that emerged after the 1991 Soviet collapse, Kyrgyzstan was governed by a democratically elected president and genuine parliament. While his neighbors suppressed the news media, created ludicrous Stalinesque personality cults and presided over corrupt, violent police states, Askar Akayev created the “Switzerland of Central Asia,” a calm and friendly mountain oasis in a region famous for its misery and obscurity. Absent were the ubiquitous checkpoints, political prisons and KGBOVIR spies typical of Central Asian republics. The Kyrgyz didn’t have oil or gas, but who knew? European mountaineers and whitewater rafting aficionados might trek in tourist money. The American-run IMF soon realized that rocks, the country’s only natural resource, don’t make for the best collateral. So we pulled the fiscal feeding tube and burst the Kyrgyz economic bubble. By 1999 the Jockey store was gone, replaced by a café that had evidently followed it into retail oblivion in the middle of a half-eaten lunch. You could have taken a nap in the middle of previously traffic-clogged streets without fear of being disturbed. The nights, however, were punctuated with gunshots. As unemployment shot up, a radical Islamist militia crossed the southern Kyrgyz frontier from its camps in

region’s Soviet-Turkish blend of secularism with south Asian-style Islamic fundamentalism, that Kyrgyz democracy was vulnerable. The Kyrgyz rebellion has sent shockwaves throughout the region. Cutthroats like Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev and Uzbekistan’s Islam Karimov are likely to draw the conclusion that Akayev’s liberalism—even at the end, he refused to permit the police to fire at the rebels—led to his downfall. Increased repression will heighten already growing anti-American sentiments in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, all of which are unstable U.S.-funded “client states” with ostentatious post-9/11 American military bases. Ensuing revolutions could diminish American influence in those nations, denying us access to untapped oil and natural gas reserves larger than Saudi Arabia and Iraq’s combined. Central Asia provides a case study in the gaping chasm between our high-flying freedomand-democracy rhetoric and a grim reality in which we cut sleazy deals with thuggish tyrants. We abandoned the democratic role model Akayev created in Kyrgyzstan because it had no direct role in America’s strategy of “total energy dominance.” We cozied up to the murderous dictators of oil- and gas-rich Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan even though we knew their citizens despised them for funneling their nations’ wealth into Swiss bank accounts while most people starved. Now Central Asia’s only democracy is history. Never have we Americans talked up our supposed values more than since 9/11. The lesson of 9/11, however, is that the rest of the world watches what we do more than they listen to what we say. MTW

INVISIBLE AMONG PALMS What it’s like to be Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin W.S. Merwin would like to convince you of the magic, joy and power of poetry. He is considered by many to be the Greatest American Poet Alive and, in my humble estimation, he is one of the greatest poets period. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970. This should mean a great deal to anyone reading these words, for poets give anyone willing to sit for a moment some really glorious gifts: vision, compassion, contemplation, a moment’s—or a lifetime’s—singular version of the truth. It’s Poetry Month. You may not know it, but April is a month devoted to poetry. It’s no accident both Shakespeare and the Buddha blossomed in April. April is a month of blossoming. T.S. Eliot labeled it the cruelest month, because, like a poem, it has the capacity to mix memory and desire in some curious, sometimes unsettling ways. I believe Merwin would like you, dear reader, to understand one thing before reading on: that poetry is something as essential as a seed—as ubiquitous and rare and generous.

What makes a man like Merwin alight, finally, on an island as isolated as ours? He’s an East Coaster, born in New York City, raised in New Jersey, educated at Princeton. He spent many years working in Europe and England as a tutor and translator for the BBC. The pull of the foliage, the ephemeral wildness of this place, gripped him and he finally chose the country over the city. “When I lived in the country, I missed the city some of the time,” he explained when we chatted early this week. “But when I lived in the city I missed the country all the time.” Merwin travels a lot of the time, sometimes spending more time off-island than on, but he still prefers the city in “little doses.” When he first set eyes on the land he now calls home, he saw the opportunity to live “surrounded by trees,” he said. “I’ve always wanted that... to be embedded, invisible among palms.” He also loved the idea of being able to garden all year ‘round. Since purchasing the property on the Haiku coast, Merwin

has devoted much of his time to reforesting the area, planting hundreds upon hundreds of native plants and trees. He describes the process, in luxuriously beautiful prose, in his essay “The Shape of Water”: Even choked, as it was then, with thickets of rampant introduced weed growth, it was the shadowy stream bed with its rocks under the huge tress that made me want to stay and so to settle, and have a garden in this valley. But also the thought of having a chance to take a piece of abused land and restoring it to some capacity of which I had only a vague idea was part of the appeal, and the day I signed the escrow papers for the land I planted, up along the ridge, the first trees of a windbreak. Merwin’s reverence for the Hawaiian culture and the ‘aina permeates much of his writing. In his 1998 epic The Folding Cliffs—A Narrative, Merwin explores the decimation of Hawaiians by Hansen’s Disease and the imposition of American and European economics and values on the native population.

“I’m a haole,” Merwin said pointedly. “I’m not a wannabe Hawaiian, but I’m definitely on their side. I want to treat Hawai’i with respect.” His latest publication, Migration, contains selections from most of his previous collections. From A Mask for Janus (1952) to The Pupil (2001), the reader gets a sense of the connection between human experience and nature’s organic processes. For a long time some of us lie in the marshes like dark coats Forgetting that we are water dust gathers all day on our closed lids weeds grow up through us (From “The Current,” 1973) In “The Dragonfly” (1967), Merwin points even more concretely to the eternal connection between humans and nature: Hoeing the bean field here are the dragonfly’s wings From this spot the wheat once signaled With lights It is all here With these feet on it

My own And the hoe in my shadow

When we have reached a point where our own kind is steadily destroying the rest of life on earth and some of us are anxious not to do that, our relationship to the earth begins to be that of a gardener to a garden. I believe that gardening... existed for millennia before there was agriculture, and I am convinced that there was a measure of joy and magic in that relation from the beginning, something that probably sobered up considerably when it started to fall in line and become agriculture.

ing poetry,” he said. “They just listen to it.” But so often people are first introduced to “real” poetry by a teacher who expects students to come up with an acceptable “meaning.” Perhaps this is why many people shy away from the genre, dismissing it as academic, archaic or indecipherable. Merwin is all for today’s hip-hop poets and poetry slammers because they draw young people in. In fact, he’s all for “anything that makes someone listen in that different way,” he said. “There’s a dimension that insists that other people really hear it. When they’re caught by it, they listen to it. They don’t try to understand it.” Shakespeare, Merwin reminded me, was one of the street poets of his time. Were he around today, perhaps he’d be found in a cavernous New York club throwing down rhymes alongside kids in baggy pants.

If Merwin’s dedication to nature in all its wildness envelops his life and his work, it’s because he believes in living life in absolute accordance with your values and intentions. It is from a strict allegiance to your “calling” that art—be it poetry or painting or music—springs. “If you’re doing the wrong things with your life, the muse really objects,” he said. “She may even die. If you live what you love, it feeds your writing.” Merwin’s love life has never included the love of money. “Because I’m an older guy, my idols were people who never thought of making money,” he said. “This was the model for artists and poets, and I lived on very little for a long time. I didn’t have a middle class life, nor did I want one. I was footloose.” After his acceptance, on a full scholarship, to Princeton, he “didn’t even have enough money to hitchhike to New York,” he said, laughing. As an undergraduate, Merwin formed an important friendship with renowned poet John Berryman. Both Berryman and critic Richard Blackmur became Merwin’s mentors. They both helped guide him through the early stages of his poetry and the transition into literary life. “Robert Penn Warren said, ‘What is most important [to a young person’s growth] is having at least one older person who really believes in you—who takes you seriously.’” Merwin remembers being “a difficult punk kid,” but said he doesn’t regret it for one minute. “I wouldn’t toe the line, but this didn’t phase [Berryman and Blackmur] one bit.” What drew him most to Berryman and Blackmur was their absolute refusal “to work on anyone else’s model. “They were utterly themselves,” he said. Poetry’s most sublime promise is to guide us toward the part of us which is most authentic, most utterly ourselves. The best poems strike potent reverberations within the reader or listener, the faint echoes of which change the receiver in some deep way. Merwin believes that in order to receive a poem’s true message, you must simply listen without worrying about what it “means.” “Children don’t worry about understand-

Merwin told me a story about a friend he’d made while on a book tour in San Diego years ago. Two people met him at the airport when he arrived, he said. “One was a local radio guy who would interview me. The other was a construction foreman who also taught poetry at the Naval Base there.” The construction foreman was to be Merwin’s driver and right-hand man during his stint in San Diego. During the days they spent together, the foreman told Merwin about his life: how he developed a fondness for poetry when he was in college studying industrial arts. He took a couple of classes and found that he really loved reading and writing poetry. It just kind of got under his skin. Years passed, and the foreman got married and found steady, lucrative work in the construction industry. He forgot about the poetry, what with life’s demands and all. But he felt angry a lot. “I would wake up in the morning, and find myself cursing in the shower,” the foreman told Merwin. “My wife said I was miserable to live with and I didn’t know why.” One day, the foreman happened upon his former poetry instructor in a coffee shop. It had been a long time, but they chatted like close friends. The instructor asked him how the poetry was going, if he was still a voracious reader and scribbler. “No,” he said sadly. “I haven’t much time for that now.” The foreman felt comfortable enough to tell the instructor about the anger festering inside him, how he woke up loaded for bear and whispered expletives while rinsing. “Why don’t you read a poem or two every morning before hopping in the shower?” the instructor said. “Then, instead of being mad, you’ll carry the sound of the poem in your head all day and think about it and remember it.” The foreman took the instructor’s advice. He read at least one poem every morning and he started feeling better. He started teaching poetry at the naval base. His wife became happier. His students started listening. “Poetry touches some other dimension,” Merwin told me. That sound that’s there in poetry—when you hear it, you know it.” MTW

In his essay “A Shape of Water,” Merwin laments the human impulse to use nature for our own gain, and discusses the more gentle, genuine purpose of the gardener:

Kula Lodge A practice in beginner’s mind

PHOTO: KIRSTEN GUENTHER

In Buddhism there is the concept of beginner’s mind. Very simply defined, beginner’s mind is the attitude of approaching habitual life events with an open mind and new eyes. One of my favorite places on Maui for practicing beginner’s mind is the Kula Lodge & Restaurant. It boasts one of the most extraordinary views on the island. I have eaten there countless times. And the view gets better each time I have the opportunity to see it through the eyes of someone new. Last week my editor told me he had never been to the Kula Lodge. “How’s the food?” he asked. To be honest, I had trouble remembering. The view is such a feast for the senses that I usually forget I’m eating. He suggested we meet there for lunch. We decided to meet at 11 a.m. The Kula Lodge serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Little did we know that at 11 a.m. the restaurant closes for a half hour to switch over to lunch service. If you ever find yourself in this bind, don’t despair. It’s easy to pass a half hour on the quaint premises. The Kula Lodge, once a private house, makes it easy to feel at home. You can stroll through the gardens that boast everything from protea and roses to orchid trees. Or take a walk through Curtis Cost’s art gallery downstairs and enjoy his vibrant colors. You can also browse through the Kula Markeplace next door for protea or upcountry style souvenirs. While my editor and I waited, we dined vicariously through the enticing griddle smells of my favorite breakfast items like Cinnamon French Toast (batter dipped cinnamon raisin bread for $7.50) and Ono Fish Benedict ($14). Finally 11:30 a.m. rolled around and the hostess seated us at a corner table that provided an equally spectacular view

of both coasts. Not that there’s a bad view in the house. Paulette Blair, an evening manager at the Kula Lodge, told me about the first time she walked into the restaurant. “What first grabbed me was the panoramic bicoastal view with the pine trees,” she said. “It’s very rare to see that combination on a tropical island. That, to me, is really awesome.” My editor asked what I recommended for lunch. I suggested the Dragon Rubbed Seared

Fretting about how I was going to sneak a glowing food story past a dissatisfied editor, I noticed a grin beginning to form on his face. “I was joking,” he said. When I looked back at his plate, I saw that his sandwich was long gone. We stayed a bit to enjoy the beauty and magic of Maui as showcased by the Kula Lodge. Time enough for me to deepen into my practice of beginner’s mind while fueled by several refills of passionfruit iced tea. MTW

I chose not to take it personally. I also decided to ignore my own advice and ordered the fish sandwich ($14). Both sandwiches came on a fresh roll with lettuce, tomato and onions. The fish sandwich was topped with a basil pesto and the chicken sandwich with a sundried tomato mayo. Each came with a choice of sides—Asian coleslaw or potato spears. “How is it?” my editor asked about halfway through our meal. “Great,” I said. “How about yours?”

EMPLOYEE OF THE

WEEK AS TOLD TO GABRIELLE POCCIA

Tiffany Ward Barista, Livewire Café in Paia Livewire is a great job for me. The schedule is perfect because I can work a full shift in the morning, be off at 11 and have the whole rest of the day to do whatever I want. Waitressing would cut too much into my schedule. Too many horror stories have given me a bit of a phobia about serving tables. Windsurfing brought me to Maui. I am originally from Oregon but the weather conditions are not good for physical training and activity. I had to find a more permitting climate. My parents sent me on a trip to Maui for an early graduation present from culinary school in San Francisco. While visiting I met two of the top windsurfers in the world and they encouraged me to pursue a career in pro windsurfing. My eyes were filled with the glory of a world championship and I gave my notice, finished school and came right back to the island. I like to compete and someday would like to have a championship but the best thing for me is to catch a good wave. I don’t just do ballet on the waves. During the winter it killed me because there were no waves. On the other hand, it gave me time to focus on other things like my business. I have a catering business called Exquisite Catering but I think I am going to change the title because I can never seem to spell it right. I like to make all kinds of food and just started making spinach and feta crepes for the café. I have worked at Livewire for two years already and I never want to leave! The girls are great. They are the kind of people that you would pick for your friends. I feel like working at the café is kind of like stand-up comedy because you really make someone’s day. It really pays off. Saying corny lines like “Thanks a latte,” or being cheeky with some of the older men gets you a dollar here and there but it adds up and you walk away with 20 extra bucks. A “woohoo” always helps. I am a “woo-hooer.” MTW

Man of La Mancha

Willie K Charity Pre-Party Friday, 9 p.m. at Hapa’s, Kihei [BENEFIT] The Willie K Charity Golf Tournament started last year as a means to assist in cancer treatments through the Maui Memorial Medical Center Oncology Department. Last year, they were able to raise $20,000 for medical equipment, education and patient room improvements. This year’s proceeds will go towards financial aid and cancer support groups. But anyhow, the night before the big golf event features live music with Pi’ilani Arias, Zacc Kekona and other special guests, with the $12 cover going towards MMC’s Oncology Unit. For more info, call 870-5171.

Friday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 5 p.m. at Iao Theater [STAGE] LAST WEEKEND!!! In a historic theater, in a town called Wailuku on the island of Maui, there is a performance of great magnitude, one of an errant knight and his quest to right the unrightable wrongs of the world. Don Quixote is not just a man from a village in La Mancha, an “idealist, a bad poet and an honest man,” for he is also the embodiment of hope, imagination, chivalry and honor, who only desires to “add some sort of grace to the world.” The story is timeless, the performances impeccable, the dialogue quick-witted and the songs impassioned and unforgettable. See if you don’t leave the theater singing the refrain! To dream the impossible dream... Tickets: $20 adults, $18 seniors (Sunday, all tickets: $15). For info, call 242-6969.

132nd Birthday Party Saturday-Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. at Banyan Tree Park, Lahaina [FAMILY] Your first birthday is a big deal. Then there’s your “Sweet Sixteen,” the year you can finally vote (18), the year you can legally booze up (21), the year you have to swallow the teen angst of your 20s (and turn 30), the indefinable year you suddenly become “middle-aged” (31) and the year some cheeky cashier asks if you want “the Senior Discount” (?!). So when the historic Banyan Tree of Lahaina marks its 132nd year of existence, it’s reasonable cause for a weekend celebration. The Saturday party will feature contemporary Hawaiian music and dance with Wilmont K, Bituing Silangan Filipino Dance Company, Kawika Lum Ho and Kahala Moon. Sunday’s festivities include more live music with Kalani Smythe, the Watanabe Taiko Drummers and traditional Japanese folk dancing, Blacksheep Belly Dance and BellyRoll Dance Companies, as well as the Internacionales Pasteles.

FILM

Much ballyhooed for its on-location filming in and around the United Nations building in Manhattan, The Interpreter works better as a captivating drama than it does as an espionage thriller due to some sticking plot points that prevent the audience from connecting fully with its convoluted story. Nicole Kidman plays Silvia Broom, a South African UN interpreter who overhears a plot to assassinate Dr. Zuwanie (Earl Cameron) the visiting genocidal leader of her native war-pocked country Matobo (a fictional region). Secret Service agent Tobin Keller (Sean Penn) calls Silvia’s checkered past in Matobo into question as he investigates her and her allegation. Sidney Pollack (The Firm) directs The Interpreter with an austere distance that detracts from the film’s intended suspense, while unsurpassable performances by Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn energize the film with their unusual chemistry. The film opens with a desolate scene that sets the tone for the brutality suffered by the impoverished citizens of Matobo where a disused soccer stadium serves as a hiding place for corpses. A child with a machine gun vehemently exacts revenge on two ostensible reporters with white skin who have come to view the carnage. A waiting photographer friend of the child’s victims ducks for cover in the distance and clicks images of an arriving warlord who will soon pose a serious threat to Silvia and the people near her in New York. We’re primarily informed about Silvia through her many one-on-one discussions with agent Keller, who’s haunted by the recent death of his wife in a car accident. Keller is quick to presume that Silvia is lying about her impartiality towards the revolutionary-cum-dictator whose life she portends will be threatened when he visits the UN in a few days.

Silvia speaks Ku, a language invented for the film, and Nicole Kidman’s precise elocution and streamlined body language make her entirely credible. When questioned by agent Keller about her motives for being a UN translator Silvia says she believes in what the UN tries to accomplish, to which Keller responds, “You’ve had a tough year lady.” Silvia returns the verbal slight when Keller later asks her in an interrogation room if he can get her anything. Silvia spits out, “How about a hood?” in a sarcastic tone that induces uncomfortable laughter in light of the American atrocities at Abu Ghraib. These kind of verbal darts in the dialogue take short aim at defects in the Bush Administration’s “battle against terror,” but it’s the film’s Hitchcock inspired centerpiece of violence (Sabotage, 1936) that makes the

The Interpreter

★★★★★ Rated PG-13/128 mins.

biggest impression. Audiences fortunate enough to have not seen the trailer for the movie will enjoy the full impact of a narrative sucker punch that darkens the tone of the movie considerably. There are surprising plot problems for a story written by two people (Martin Stellman and Brian Ward), and then polished into a screenplay by three others (Charles Randolph, Scott Frank and Steven Zallian). One key figure of character consternation is the contrived Zuwanie security specialist Nils Lud (Jesper Christensen) who seems to have free reign through the corridors of power in spite of his clearly dubious intentions. The character’s function is so insufficiently supported for the amount of import he’s given in the film’s rushed climax that you feel cheated as an audience member. Much of The Interpreter dwells on Silvia’s actions under the close surveillance of Keller’s Secret Service team that bumble their by-thebook investigation on several occasions. Silvia is visited by a stalker whose weak motivation of merely scaring her seems strained for the level of espionage at play. But the sophomoric subplot is further overleveraged when the stalker is promptly dispatched by his mysterious boss who somehow immediately knows that the Secret Service have located a hair from the man. The illogical sequence derails the movie the same way various other plot detours undermine the heart of the story. Still, The Interpreter has a political inertia that points toward a more aggressive direction for Hollywood films to comment on the nature of corruption dominating our globe. No one falls in love in The Interpreter. We all have far too much to be suspicious about these days. MTW

MISS CONGENIALITY 2 – (PG13) – Comedy – Goofy cute chicks rule! Like, Sandra Bullock for instance, who’s reprising her role as an FBI agent this time going undercover as a Las Vegas showgirl. Julia Roberts used to be cute and goofy, too, before she got all gaunt and sophisticated. But she’s not in this one anyway, so nevermind. CONSTANTINE – (R) – Action-Adventure, Suspense, Horror and Thriller – As our astute intern puts it, this film looks like a cross between The Matrix and Devil’s Advocate. We love that good vs. evil, Heaven and Hell stuff! Plus, it’s got beautiful Kauai-boy Keanu Reeves playing the tortured investigator of supernatural mysteries and hottie Rachel Weisz as... well, who cares. GUESS WHO – (PG-13) – Comedy – Bernie Mac plays a sarcastic dad who’s less than pleased that his daughter wants to marry some white dude played by Ashton Kutcher. Now, I know it sounds dumb, but if you… ah, who am I kidding. HITCH – (PG13) – Romantic Comedy – Will Smith plays a matchmaker who uses less than honest methods in his work—whahhhhh???!?!—and then gets busted by a totally hot undercover reporter played by Eva Mendes. Oh, and there’s a chick in the movie named after a popular antihistamine. ICE PRINCESS – (G) – Romantic Comedy - Don’t think this is another Ice Castles, people. It’s just another one of them formulaic, cute teen chick underdog battles against “the popular girls” to rise up the ranks and win... something. A trophy? The presidency? Oh yeah, self-esteem. Whoopee. We all know self-esteem gets you nowhere. Just look at Robert Blake! Stars Michelle Trachtenberg, Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall. MERCHANT OF VENIE - (R)- In 16th century Venice, when a merchant must default on a large loan from an

abused Jewish moneylender for a friend with romantic ambitions, the bitterly vengeful creditor demands a gruesome payment instead. Bill collectors at it again. The film deftly explores the themes of love vs loyalty, law vs justice, and passion vs reason. MILLION DOLLAR BABY – (PG 13) – Romantic Drama – This Oscar-nominated film is getting rave reviews, but it’s really just another cliché-filled picture about a young boxer who’s had a tough life but, through sheer force of will, fights the good fight. Stars Hillary Swank, Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, who also directed it. ROBOTS – (PG) – Animation, Sci-Fi, Comedy – This computer-generated cartoon details a world populated by robots. Yes, I know it sounds fantastic and even a bit childish, but really, this place actually exists! And I’ve been there! No, I swear—what? No, I haven’t taken my meds, yet. Anyway, it features the voices of Mel Brooks, Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear and, of course, Robin Williams. SAHARA - (PG13) - Action/Adventure - Explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) takes on a treasure hunt in several regions of North Africa in search of a ship called The Ship of Death—why, Dirk, why?! Anyway, along with his smarty pants sidekick (Steve Zahn), they use their clever heroics to help out the beautiful Doctor Eva (Penelope Cruz), who believes this ship is the reason why there are a lot of mysterious deaths. She’s smart, that one. SIN CITY – (R) – Action-Adventure and Crime/Gangster – Another tale of a violent city where the police department is more corrupt than the bad seeds. This futuristic tale follows three stories, including one involving Marv (Mickey Rourke), a bad ass who is a Terminator-like, nearly impossible-to-kill street fighter. He goes on a rampage of vengeance when his one-night-stand gets murdered—correction, his one true love. Aw, what a guy to care the morning after! Also starring Bruce Willis, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Madsen and Jessica Alba.

WEFIN EK AL EN D

A LOT LIKE LOVE - (PG13) - Romantic Comedy - Supposedly, this flick is about destiny, connection and the frequently fuzzy line between chance friendships and “happily ever after.” It traces the relationship of Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) who met on a flight from Los Angeles to New York, each of them declaring that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. Uh, hello? Hasn’t everyone seen When Harry Met Sally already?! Yeah, we all know how this one ends.

A year later, the Lutz family moves into the house thinking it would be their dream house. But shortly after settling in, bizarre and unexplainable events, nightmarish visions and evil—worse than just a leaky roof— resides... Damn, who is their real estate agent?!

THE BEAUTY SHOP – (PG-13) – Comedy – Here we are back in the chair again. Gina (Queen Latifia) has finally had it with her egotistical boss (Kevin Bacon).

Fixing up this rundown salon, Gina inherits a very colorful and sexy sassy new group of people, or just what is needed in a beauty shop—a bunch of chatty Kathy’s. FEVER PITCH – (PG13) – Romantic Comedy - So Ms. Barrymore is at it again. At first, he seemed like just a simple guy (Jimmy Fallon) she meets and falls in love with.

DAY&NIGHT

There’s a reason the motto for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical CATS is “Now and Forever.” It could be that the myth is cats have nine lives, seeming to live forever. Or it could be that CATS just so happens to be the longest running musical in both British theater and on Broadway, and the longest continuously touring show in American theater history. It first opened on May 11, 1981, the same year MTV made its debut, Bob Marley died, Ronald Reagan became president, and the first Columbia space shuttle launch. Heavily drawn from the poetry contained in T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (many of the song lyrics are directly taken from the poems), it’s mindboggling that this play has continuously captivated so many people. After all, the same enigmatic poet who focused on people’s hidden inner lives and their tendency to avoid their conscience when making decisions was also criticized by some for being too “academic” and obtuse.

The cats’ tribal mentality not only reflects our country’s current political climate, but also the American cast and crew’s nomadic lifestyle. According to Chambers, each year half of the 20-member cast stays on and resigns their average 12-month long contracts. Along with the 11-member crew, they travel the country 52 weeks a year by charter bus and plane, only getting one day off a week and a few weeks off each year. The lifestyle isn’t without challenges, Chambers admits. “We see each other as a family,” she says. “There’s people you get

along with and people you only see on holidays. And you have to be way more respectful of privacy because there isn’t any.” But it’s also one of the reasons she loves touring with CATS. “There’s support. How often will I have 50 people I can rely on?” she says. “When I finish my contract I’ll be hysterically crying.” Luckily for audiences around the world, barring any major cat-astrophes (sorry) it doesn’t look like CATS will be finishing its run anytime soon. Twenty-four years later, things haven’t changed that much anyway. MTW

CATS April 21-24, 7:30 p.m. (with 2 p.m. matinee shows on Sat. and Sun.), Castle Theater, MACC,242-7469. Tickets:$65,$47,$35,$10. Kym Chambers, a cast member for nearly two years, thinks the musical’s appeal comes from the play’s more obvious characteristics. “I think there is so much to take from the show,” she said in a recent interview. “Kids love the cats moving around, the set, the music, the colors and the lighting. And [adults] remember it as their first theater experience and they want to [share that].” But what about the story’s deeper elements? In the musical, the cats introduce themselves separately but the emphasis is clearly on the group, called the Jellicle Cats. The only two characters outside of the Jellicle Cats are Macavity, the villain, and Grizabella, a cat that left the group to explore the rest of the world. Like countries who rejected the opportunity to take part in George W. Bush’s “Coalition of the Willing,” Grizabella is shunned from the group entirely. Since she’s not with them, she’s obviously against them. The majority of the plot focuses on the cats’ annual meeting, in which one member of the group is chosen to travel to the Heaviside Layer to be reborn. Riiiight.

What do you mean we’re out of catnip?!

SIGNLANGUAGE

If not now, when?

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Love and/or money are apt to come from out of the way places this week, odd locations and situations where you’d never guess a potential new business partner or lover might lurk. Cast your line into waterfalls and eddies where you’ve never been. One word of caution: this is all cool and exciting, but be careful not to push it. You’re also likely to meet a handful of seemingly interesting prospects who’ll amount to nothing that important in your life. In other words, don’t enthuse too much about the first nibble you get on whatever you put out there. It could be the big fish, or it could just be the beginning of a good day of fishing.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Modern fertility drugs have made instances of twins (and triplets, octuplets, etc.) much more common than ever before. Imagine being gifted with six more babies than you’d planned for. Even with your phenomenal skills at balancing, cooperation and juggling, dealing with that many new responsibilities is way more than you can handle right now. Fortunately, you have an option most mothers of septuplets don’t consider: choosing which of your new burdens you’ll actually take care of. If you absolutely can’t make up your mind (they’re all so cute and promising!), at least follow the examples of new moms: Get help.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

HIV COUNSELING AND TESTING

Crabs like to edge around things. Their preferred movement is from side to side. Scuttling quickly to the left or right is a smart way to avoid conflict, to see things differently than the rest of the human race, and to make yourself hard to pin down. For one week, though, would you consider a direct approach? The full moon in Scorpio demands that you charge full speed ahead, and leap with all your faith and strength. It’s the only way you’ll clear the vast philosophical chasm ahead of you, and reach the (perhaps life-changing, perhaps merely very interesting) revelation that lies on the other side. Or if you can’t break your sidling habit, you can continue to linger in the dubious safety of doubt. Your choice.

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.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Your Majesty! Last week you received news that the barbarians succeeded in capturing the last stronghold outside the Imperial Palace and the first of their arrows had begun to clatter against its stone walls. Just as you were squashing the rebellion, another surprise attack threw you off-kilter. Leos are not fond of unpleasant surprises, or attacks on their personal territory (which can include people). To console you in your bitterness, I call into effect the Law of Balances. The offensive news of last week will be tempered by some equally good news this week, like the discovery in the palace cellar of an ancient and magical weapon that promises to keep your enemies at bay for some time to come.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) I picture you as uncharacteristically moony, ogling yourself in the mirror for long, vain moments, or—more likely, staring dreamily into the doe-like eyes of your current crush. Lest you sink forever into a pit of mushy sentimentality, consider this: Remember when you used to completely trash anyone who acted this silly and gaga? Well, payback’s a bitch, sweetie. For your evil ridicule, you’ll suffer. But you’ll also discover, to your probable surprise and delight, how completely ineffective derision is to one in your situation. So enjoy your karmic retribution, on every level it comes to you.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) It’s springtime. Have a fling. Or make your familiar love feel like a fling, by setting it in new locales, situations, or simply consciously deepening the emotional connection. Shifting things around can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be, because it’s all in the name of bigger life, bigger love. That means that your lover might become your friend, or a friend might become a lover. Relish the metamorphoses instead of fearing them. Change comes no matter what you do; at least here you have a really good chance of making it all positive, unusual and exciting.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)

A public health message provided by The Maui AIDS Foundation.

April Full Moon. It’s full-on spring, and that means spring cleaning—of your life, not necessarily your apartment. If there’s someone who needs to be cut off—and there is—do it now, and don’t look back. It sounds harsh, but a clean break with a bad influence is ultimately a good thing, especially when your alternatives are messy loose ends, muddled conclusions and exhausting ongoing negativity. Don’t shy away from doing what’s necessary. The situation’s come to this choice: leave your “victim” a soft heart with one long, clean scar, or one toughened and calloused from a myriad of smaller hurts? (And by the way, don’t get high-and-mighty about this; I never said the bad influence was the other guy.)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Unlike the other two fire signs, Sagittarians tend to avoid positions of authority. Being of a non-hierarchical nature, members of your tribe are happy to coordinate an activity, lead an expedition, or direct a valuable import business, as long as it’s reasonable and practical for them to do so. Should someone more enthusiastic or capable come along, Sags are only too happy—nay, relieved—to yield up the responsibility. While I applaud your lack of hubris, you must admit: you are sometimes too eager to deliver up the burden of your responsibilities. Can you hold onto this one for a while, since it promises a doorway to a greater freedom than you’ve known in at least a year?

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

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) According to my Vibe-o-meter, your readings register as curiously pure, more like the innocent, radiant quality of a young kid than a full-grown adult. You’re dangerously free of cynicism, bitterness or sarcasm. I say dangerously free, because trusting as a child in the garden of Eden trusts, while living in the wilder jungle of real life, can be a sketchy practice. I’m not worried about you, though—you’re tough. What are you going to do with this abundance of goodwill and energy? There are a lot of people who are worse off than you; consider them. Could now be the time to actually do something to help another person out, in some significant and long-term way?

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’re a sleek, road-hugging racecar, your powerful engine thrumming in neutral as you prepare for your forceful sprint to the finish line. Or perhaps that rumble is the deep, quiet growl of you as cheetah, your lean, muscled body lying low to the ground—just at the moment you spot your prey. This is a good week to slowly creep into the best possible position, muscles bunched and tensed, patiently awaiting the right moment to spring into the rapid pursuit that could mean life or death for someone. The full moon in Scorpio this week doesn’t promise victory, only a wild and exhilarating chase.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) In the window of the hair and nail salon, seven glittering ceramic hands claw the air. Grotesque talons decorated with beads, sparkles, hoops and chains, in every color seen on television, promise all the allure of the classless upper class, the idle, the reposed. The receptionist has such lengthy, curled nails on her hands that she can barely pick up the phone. This reminds me of your current predicament. In your effort to show off or display some useless aspect of yourself, you’ve severely handicapped your ability to do things. May I suggest some metaphorical nail clippers? The distorted and narrow beauty you may lose will be far outweighed by the healthy and balanced gorgeousness that will emerge in its place.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Explore your dark side. You’re often quite eager to be the perpetual kid; always happy and playful and silly. But you have dark depths and slightly scary hungers that you rarely, if ever, explore. Don’t shy away from them now. That’s a source of your power—denying it can only damage your health and vitality in the long run. Take precautions so you don’t screw yourself up, but explore that dark and kinky stuff. Remember there’s a difference between being careful and just being scared. Be as careful as you ought to be, but don’t let fear keep you from really getting down to what’s what.

HOLOHOLOGIRL

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS

To Scream or Not To Scream Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions. - Woody Allen (Some names have been changed to protect the, um, guilty) Are you a screamer? You know, like, during sex. Even if you’re not, at the very least we’ve all had the roommate or neighbor who’s gone too far in the middle of the night or in the early morning, distracting us or waking us up, and either turning us on or grossing us out. Maybe even a little of both. Mostly, it’s embarrassing. Who wants to be privy to the erotic vocalizations of the same people you barely say “hi” to on the way to the mailbox? And to hear your roommate in the throes of passion is somehow as disturbing as that one time you came home early and heard your—ugh!—parents doing it. That being said, there are other couples who successfully avoid next-day, angry roommate encounters by playing loud music during sex, or hanging rugs on the walls, screaming into pillows, biting on things or taking an escape into the woods. Some friends have even suggested romantic “parked car” getaways as a possible solution. I’m not one to knock good sex. I know all about those particular erotic moments where you lose self-control. Hey, I’m all for passion. And communication is a vital part of it, too. According to renowned sexologist Betty Dodson, Ph.D., “Our voices can be an important part of sexual arousal, an exquisite aspect of making love when we use sounds and words that are music to a lover’s ears.” Still, there are other ways of showing appreciation. “When I have amazing sex,” said my friend Evelyn, “I moan into my lover’s ear or use my body language to show him how much I’m enjoying it. There’s no need to be outrageous.” Obviously, there’s a time and place for everything. If you’re having loud sex and it’s sincere, it can be sexy. But how loud is too loud? Are the sounds natural or over-the-top, like a thousand roosters crowing? Depending on your comfort level and consideration for where you are, who you’re with and whether you care what anyone else thinks, some behavior can just be an unwelcome distraction. “It’s like that one Sex and the City episode,” said David, “where the guy is going down on Miranda and comes up to give her a kiss and his face is all greasy and she’s like, ew, is that necessary? I hope you’re not doing that on my account.” Bob feels differently about sexual screamers. For him, there’s no reason not to brag about good sex. “It’s only happened once,” said Bob, “but I wish women would do it more often. How else am I supposed to know when it feels good?” Actually, many sex experts agree. According to TheSite.org, “Being vocal during sex is not a bad thing; if anything it shows you’re comfortable with your partner, and you’ll probably have better sex as a result.” Bob enjoyed hearing that. But then he thought of another reason. “It’s also cool to let the neighbors or your roommates know,” he said. “‘Cuz it makes you feel more like a man.” Ah, exhibitionistic machismo at its finest. Certainly, loud sex must have its limits. If she’s screaming the whole time, it might feel like there’s something wrong—like it’s fake or she’s in pain. But maybe some people are just more expressive. Rebecca doesn’t agree. She insists guys like it when she’s vocal during sex and that it gives them the encouragement they need, making the experience more intense. “It’s like when you’re at a concert,” said Rebecca. “The crowd’s screaming and the performers feed off of their energy.” I asked David if it doesn’t make him feel more virile as a man somehow, to have his partner respond with such vocal fortissimo. Isn’t the knowledge that whatever he’s doing is eliciting honest-to-goodness screaming, a good thing? “Yeah, that feels good,” he said, considering. “But she could just tell me.” Samantha Campos has put her thespian desires on hold since playing the title role in her fifth grade Spanish class rendition of “Little Red Riding Hood.” MTW
