LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR SICK MATH Aloha Anthony: Thanks for the fine work you do editing Maui Time Weekly. Each week I look forward to the newest issue.

Your Coconut Wireless column discussed the norovirus outbreaks aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 and provided statistics on the total number of sick passengers for 2005 and 2006 (Feb. 1, 2007).

While you start out correctly relating the number of sick passengers to the total number of outbreaks on the QE2, 276 out of 1,652, you fail to relate the overall number of sick passengers in 2005 and 2006 to the total number of folks who went on cruises.

This is significant as the cruise industry grows about 10 percent or 500,000 passengers per year.

In order to understand the increased danger for a norovirus outbreak, we have to examine the raw numbers you provided as a subset of the total number of passengers.

For 2005, there were 11.2 million passengers of which 4016 became ill.

This represents 0.004 percent of the total number of passengers. For 2006, there were 11.7 million passengers of which 6,502 became ill. This represents 0.006 percent of the total number of passengers.

We can then conclude that the increase in outbreaks between 2005 and 2006 relative to the total number of passengers is two thousandth of a percent. Not nearly as dramatic as 59 percent, but a more accurate reflection of the actual concern that should accompany such a statement.

If you have a moment you may enjoy reading Barry Glasner’s book The Culture Of Fear. It relates quite well to the convoluted point I am trying to illustrate.

Keep doing what you do.

Being full-time residents of Honolua Valley, we are very troubled by the plans Maui Land and Pineapple Company has for our beautiful countryside (The Maui 10, Feb. 1, 2007). We are afraid that the natural beauty and unique charm of this area will be lost forevermore to their developments. The plan claims to benefit the community but which community?

Will it be for the community as a whole or for their “private gated” communities?

Together, we can make sure the right thing is done by getting involved with the planning process. Voice your questions and concerns to the proper officials.

Especially, attend the upcoming meetings with the confidence that we will make a difference! HELP REPRESENT!!!!!!!

bers.” Seriously, though, assuming your 11.7 million passenger figure is correct (it is, at this point, still an estimate), you are of course correct about the actual number of sick passengers being statistically miniscule, though I stand by my logic that it’s worth worrying about the fact that the number of outbreaks—i.e., infected ships— is rising, especially given that the federally funded Centers for Disease Control are supposedly conducting more onboard ship inspections than ever.

PLANT THIS! Bad news for genetically modified organism (GMO)/herbicide manufacturer Monsanto this week: on Feb. 6, 2007, U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been far too lenient in approving applications to grow GMOs that haven’t yet been authorized for commercial use. The specific instance cited in the case was an Oregon application by Scotts Co. to plant 400 acres of grass—we’re talking actual grass here, not “grass”—designed to resist Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. The USDA approved it with apparently little oversight. “The USDA received about 1,000 applications last year, most of which were approved quickly with no formal environmental impact reviews,” reported the San Jose Mercury News the day of the ruling. “Kennedy ruled that the agency must give more scrutiny to applications to determine if detailed environmental assessments should be required.” A coalition of individuals and anti-GMO organizations filed the suit back in 2003, and they’re ecstatic. In a Feb. 7 press release, Joseph Mendelson, the legal director for the Center for Food Safety, which was one of the parties that filed suit against the USDA to stop Scotts’ plan, called the ruling a “significant victory” that will have far-reaching effect. “The Court was clearly concerned that the agency has put our nation’s environment at risk by exempting many of these field trials from environmental review,” he added. “That’s why the judge made the decision broadly to apply future field trials of genetically engineered crops.”

CALLING ALL CONSULTANTS For the first time in, well, a really long time, Carlyle Group-owned Hawaiian Telcom is out of the cellar on news that they’ve replaced consulting firm BearingPoint, Inc. with consulting firm Accenture, Ltd. The reason is, of course, BearingPoint’s inability to deal with the torrent of customer complaints over bad bills following Carlyle Group’s takeover of the Hawai`i phone company last year. In exchange for not holding BearingPoint liable for the complaint bonanza, that company agreed to pay Hawaiian Telcom $52 million and forget earlier invoices for work totaling $30 million. MTW

LC Watch New Booze Cruise Rules It’s been nearly a year since U.S. District Judge Alan C. Kay ruled that booze cruises—open bars on commercial tour and snorkel boats that don’t charge per drink—are actually illegal in the County of Maui. Luaus, hotel brunches and the like are all fine, but not the cruises. That case, brought by the family of a man killed in a car accident by a woman driving home following a booze cruise, was rough for Silva and LC Deputy Director Wayne Pagan, in that both ended up being named as defendants. The County Council voted to indemnify them from personal liability, but they still had to make sworn depositions in the case (see Greg Mebel’s “LC Director Sued,” Nov. 2, 2006 for more information).

‘The Whales Tend to Be My Muse’ Meagan Jones on this year’s Whale Quest Meagan Jones’ holy trinity is science, education and conservation. Cofounder of Whale Trust, a Paia-based nonprofit organization devoted to the study of humpback whales, Jones believes that, “science is the foundation for education and education becomes the foundation for conservation and protection of whales.”

As such, her organization is helping organize Whale Quest, a charity event this weekend in Kapalua. The event will include educational seminars, whale watch excursions, art and photo exhibitions and a charity golf tournament. Recently Jones shared some of her insight into humpback whales and the need for a program of this nature.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY: Why do we need this kind of community forum?

MEAGAN JONES: There’s no way we can protect whales unless we have a better understanding of the environment that they live in. I think what Whale Quest is all about [is] bringing together the researchers with the people who are trying to tell the story with the people who are out here try-

ing to understand the ocean to better protect these animals.

How do we affect the Pacific Ocean’s whale population?

One of the issues we have here is the number of boats and the speed of boats that are going here. The number of ship strikes that are now being reported are higher than in the past. I will say that we don’t know for sure if they’re reporting them more. As the population increases and the number of boats from the ocean increase, and the speed of vessels and the bigger vessels increase, it makes sense that there’ll be more interactions.

What makes Hawai`i so special when it comes to studying humpbacks?

This is the only breeding and calving ground in the United States for humpback whales. It’s also, of all the places in the world that I’ve studied whales, the best place. We have warmer waters with a lot of clarity, a lot of visibility, which allows us to kind of flip in and see what they’re doing underneath the surface so our underwater observations are great. Also because of the high West Maui moun-

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

tains, we have a block from the trade winds so that provides kind of calm, protected waters for us to work in.

And then we have this incredible concentration of humpbacks here that you don’t ordinarily find so close to shore.

You put warm, calm, protected waters with a high concentration of whales close to shore and you pretty much have the ideal situation. see WHALES, page 13

But now Maui County Liquor Control Director Franklyn Silva says the Liquor Commission will be taking up the matter at its March, 2007 hearing. At the commission’s Jan. 10, 2007 hearing, Silva told the panel how one little mix-up led to one of the island’s more popular tourist activities getting prohibited by a federal judge.

Apparently, years ago the Liquor Commission was working on revising the county laws “to restrict excessive service of alcoholic beverages,” Silva said. The proposed law was pretty tough, and would have made it impossible for an establishment—including a luau—to hold an open bar.

The commission held public hearings, and lots of hotel and luau representatives came forward to say such a law would make it impossible for them to operate. The commission agreed, and dutifully changed the law to allow for open bars for hotels, brunches and luaus.

This was great, except that the booze and snorkeling cruise people never came forward. “We didn’t think of them,” Silva said. As a result, the law made no exception for them.

Now Silva wants to change that and include booze cruises in the county liquor laws. “It makes sense,” he told the commission. “You pay one price, do the snorkeling and come back in.”

Potential Energy What we’re doing to make Maui more fuel-efficient • Identify greenhouse gas sources (and their secondary effects, such as shipping coal, oil, ethanol or other materials to Hawai`i) • Regulate these emissions over a multiyear time period • Call for reduction of these emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020.

Mikulina noted that a “Hummers pay for hybrids” bill introduced this session proposes an increased excise tax on sport utility vehicles, with a corresponding elimination of a tax on hybrid gas/electric cars.

Hawai`i holds the dubious distinction of being the most petroleumdependent state in the U.S. The Kaheawa Wind Farm overlooking Ma`alaea gives us nice, clean power, but more than 90 percent of our energy production for electrical generation and for transportation comes from imported fossil fuels, mostly petroleum from Indonesia.

Additionally, our electric rates and gas prices are the nation’s highest.

What is being done to correct this imbalance and look to renewable energy sources?

These questions were part of a panel discussion at the Feb. 10 Sierra Club Maui Group annual meeting.

With County Council members Jo Anne Johnson, Gladys Baisa and Mike Victorino among the audience, panelists provided practical steps to take to minimize our own “eco-footprint,” even while raising greater questions as to the paths we might take.

Sierra Club Hawai`i State Director Jeff Mikulina, fresh from his training to give the presentation that formed the basis of Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth, noted that each person in Hawai`i contributes 18 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year. He said as he makes the rounds at the state Legislature he carries around a baggie holding 1.5 pounds of charcoal, which represents what the average resident produces each hour through automobile exhaust and electrical plant generation.

Mikulina then showed graphs indicating a steady rise of carbon dioxide levels atop Mauna Loa going back 50 years. He believes the most important legislative measure in this year’s session is Senate Bill 1612 (and companion House Bill 226) that would regulate greenhouse gas emissions. SB 1612 would:

Much discussion has taken place on the potential to link Hawai`i’s agricultural production with its energy production, through growing bio-fuel crops. These fall into two categories: oil crops for biodiesel and crops capable of producing ethanol, such as sugar.

“The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today,” inventor Rudolf Diesel said in 1912. “But such oils may become in the course of time as important as the petroleum and coal tar products of the present time.”

The Kings of Kahului-based Pacific Biodiesel know something of this. After 20 years as a diesel mechanic, Bob King devised a chemical process to remove the glycerin content from cooking oil and produce a methyl ester fuel, compatible with all diesel engines, including large electrical generation facilities. With processing facilities on Maui and Oahu, Pacific Biodiesel produces a million gallons of biodiesel fuel per year, which represents two percent of diesel fuel used by on-road vehicles.

Of course, the shipping industry consumes a far greater quantity of diesel fuel—at 67 million gallons yearly.

Electrical generation burns close to 110 million gallons a year. Total diesel fuel consumption yearly in Hawai`i stands at nearly 300 million gallons.

Clearly, biodiesel produced from recycled vegetable oil cannot begin to supply that amount, so the Kings are looking for research and development funds for demonstration projects for biodiesel crops. Bob King’s wife Kelly, who handles Pacific Biodiesel’s marketing, believes that will require soil remediation, planting, growing, harvesting and processing before they can identify which crops ultimately are best suited to Hawai`i.

Last September, the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center released their report, Biodiesel Crop Implementation in Hawaii. That report identified close to

250,000 acres statewide that are ideal for biodiesel crop production, and discussed potential plant sources.

The African Oil Palm tops the list, with its potential to produce 650 gallons per acre. Kelly King noted that a new harvesting technique might be necessary, as Hawai`i could not compete with prices in Indonesia, where labor for hand-picking can be obtained at a mere 50 cents per hour. Should Hawai`i choose to import palm oil for biodiesel production, we would need to consider the global impacts. Friends of the Earth estimates that 87 percent of the deforestation that occurred in Malaysia from 1985 to 2000 was caused by new palm oil plantations, much of it funded by Chinese investments.

Jatropha trees may yield 250 to 300 gallons of oil per acre, and can survive on marginal agricultural lands as well as mature into production relatively quickly.

Other potential crops with lesser yields include peanuts, kukui, flax, castor beans, jojoba, soybeans, rapeseed and sunflowers. Many of these, except for inedible jatropha and castor beans, could also produce a highly nutritional feed for humans or livestock as a by-product.

The production of algae to harvest oil for biodiesel has not been undertaken on a commercial scale, but working feasibility studies indicate possible yields as high as 10,000 gallons of oil per acre.

Since April, 2006, 10 percent of all gasoline in Hawai`i is ethanol, derived from renewable sources. Since local ethanol production ventures could not start fast enough to meet that demand, all our ethanol currently comes from the Mainland and Brazil.

At last October’s Hawai`i Bioenergy Workshop, Alan Kennett, a Kauai sugar plantation president, outlined bold plans to begin ethanol production. Kennett stated that Gay & Robinson, one of the two remaining statewide sugar plantations (there were once 18), “can’t make it any more as a raw sugar producer.”

With about 8,000 acres in production, and more fallow, they believe that the patented Pearson Technology will allow them to convert cane bagasse (the fibrous residue after squeezing the juice from the cane, currently burned in boilers to produce steam and electricity) to ethanol through cellulosic and gasification processes. This would supplement ethanol produced from sugar or molasses through a fermentation process.

Ethanol produced from sugar has a seven-to-one advantage of energy poten-

tial over fuel derived from corn or sugar beets. Still, there are disadvantages.

Ethanol-added gasoline is less fuel-efficient than straight petroleum.

Fermentation process also produces a byproduct called vinasse—an odorous organic matter that presents a considerable disposal or re-use challenge.

Still, the promise of converting the sugar industry to an energy plantation is compelling, especially in light of studies linking sugar to tooth decay, obesity and diabetes. Then, there’s the ongoing debate over cane burning.

Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar is already an energy producer on Maui, through small hydroelectric production as well as contributions to the Maui Electric grid from its Pu`unene mill boilers. But they have yet to commit to ethanol production.

Lee Jakeway of HC&S, who also gave a presentation at the Hawai`i Bioenergy Workshop, had been invited to be part of the Sierra Club panel discussion, but his corporate superiors at Alexander & Baldwin nixed the idea. In any case, Jakeway told me that his studies represent only the potential for HC&S until such a time when there is a commitment from those higher up in the company.

Panelist Victor Reyes, recently appointed as Mayor Charmaine Tavares’ new Energy Commissioner, has a background as a biologist and in agriculture. “Lots of ideas are being considered,” he said, to help make Maui a renewable energy leader in the state and nation. While he said there are no specifics yet, “there is a lot on the list.”

Activist Daniel Grantham offered that if we had a cooperative, rather than competitive economy, there would be more of a level playing field in terms of energy production. He said one easy thing that everyone in Hawai`i can do is to install solar hot water heaters—proven technology with a relatively low cost.

With the addition of Kaheawa Wind Farms, Maui actually is the state leader in renewable energy generation. Clearly, the solutions to reduce our oil-dependency will need to be multi-faceted.

Possible options besides bio-fuel include wind, hydro and micro-hydro, wave power, solar photo-voltaic and of course, an overall reduction in our energy consumption. We each need to realize that our personal choices contribute to global warming, and that our combined efforts— not just government or industry waving a magic wand—is what is required to turn the tide.

Joe Souki, who’s sat in the state Legislature representing Wailuku, Waihee, Waiehu, Puuohala and Waikapu for a quarter of a century, chairs the House Transportation Committee. He’s one of the most powerful men in the state House. And because of the Democratic Party’s near-dictatorial control over the state House, Republicans hold just two of the committee’s 13 seats, he doesn’t have to worry about achieving any bi-partisan consensus. This term, probably the single biggest item going before the Transportation Committee is the Superferry, which hasn’t exactly been stingy with the campaign contributions. Slow growth activist Dick Mayer knows this, which is why he wrote a letter to the editor of The Maui News, which published it on Feb. 9, 2007. In his letter Mayer calls on Souki to pass House Bill 702, which would force Hawaii Superferry, Inc.—which hasn’t exactly been stingy with the campaign contributions, as the above notation makes clear—to commission an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of its proposed operations.

“An EIS would not only describe the impacts but more importantly would indicate means to mitigate the problems,” Mayer wrote. “The people of Maui are counting on Rep. Souki to help get an EIS.”

To the woman who accused me of being a porn star: Before you go mailing out graphic porn DVDs as well as disrespectful and threatening letters to my place of employment, maybe you should get your facts straight and make sure you’ve got the right girl. Your friend in the video may resemble me, but she is clearly not me. There are some very obvious ways to tell. To make matters worse, you don’t even have enough courage to identify yourself and allow me to defend myself and prove you wrong. If I ever find out who you are, I have half a mind to slap you with a lawsuit for defamation of character. So maybe you should have looked a little closer before you went to so much trouble in your attempt to destroy my reputation and get me fired.

COCONUT WIRELESS THE WEEK IN REVIEW

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 7 They called it a debate, but the medical experts who showed up at Seabury Hall tonight to talk up “The politics of health care” pretty much agreed that care on Maui and pretty much the rest of the U.S. is phenomenally screwed up, unless you’re rich, in which case you’re set. In fact, Dr. Ronald Kwon—the main force behind the proposed but apparently dead Malulani Medical Center—said he thought it “really shameful we’re the only industrialized nation that doesn’t have national health insurance.” Maui District Health Officer Lorrin Pang later stole the show, saying, “When you live in a looking glass world, things behave opposite.” All in all, it was a solid airing of views surrounding a very complex situation— another winner for Seabury’s Philosophy Club, which chooses the topics and questions for the monthly debates—but the evening didn’t all go so smoothly.

SUNDAY, Feb. 11 THURSDAY, Feb. 8 Well, the opposition is down, but not quite out. Over on Oahu, the state Senate is holding hearings on the possibility of forcing Hawaii Superferry, Inc. to submit to a full environmental review before they start racing their ships between our islands. Using unusually harsh language in his testimony yesterday, Pacific Whale Foundation President Greg Kaufman said the proposed Superferry poses “jeopardy” to the humpback whales that visit our state every year. “The HSF [Hawaii Superferry] is a high-speed vessel unlike any other ever to ply Hawaiian waters,” he told the Senate Transportation and International Affairs Committee and the Energy and Environment Committee.

“At 350 feet in length with a 78-foot beam and carving a draft at over 11 feet this vessel single-handedly poses a formidable threat to Hawaiian marine life, and in particular [the] endangered humpback whale.”

Kaufman also ridiculed Superferry officials’ insistence that the “whale avoidance plan” would minimize strikes. “The math is not in HSF’s favor,” Kaufman said. “[A]ssuming a travel speed of 35 knots and encountering a whale at 500 yards, with the whale swimming 1-3 knots towards the vessel, the reaction time to collision is 2.38 seconds. Traveling at the same speed and detecting the whale at 100 yards, HSF has minus 9.67 seconds to react—in other word they will hit a whale before they even see it from about 500 yards or less.”

Coming to a Legislature near you Multipurpose Room today at a special state Senate hearing on the proposed Superferry. Of those 100, an estimated zero percent spoke out in favor of the state’s plans to launch the large, fast auto ferries in July without first doing any kind of environmental review. Instead, residents seem fixated on concerns like the introduction of invasive species throughout the islands, how the boats will affect traffic in Kahului and what passengers would do should the ferry get stuck here overnight for whatever reason. All legitimate questions, when taken together they raise an additional curiosity: how the hell could the state get so stupid as to try to steamroll an inter-island, high-speed ferry past an environmental review? This is Hawai`i—a chain of islands bound up by very delicate cultural traditions and ecological balances that have unfortunately been misused, trodden upon and exploited for the last century. The least state officials could have done was pretend to care for something other than Hawaii Superferry, Inc.’s financing schedule when they approved this thing. But nope, couldn’t do that—and now they’re looking at a state Legislature that is tiring

Just two days before V-Day, and the Associated Press drops a bombshell of a love story: there’s a move afoot in the state Legislature to legalize prostitution. If Senate Bill 706 passes—and that’s about as big an IF as you’re going to get this legislative term—prostitution will be legal in certain areas. “Designated areas shall include portions of geographic areas that have a history of this offense,” the bill states. “The designated areas may be described both by geographic boundaries and by time of day limitations.” Mmm… boundaries. Got to have boundaries… What? Anyway, those individuals caught soliciting hookers in “public places” will still face a $500 fine but no jail time. Ironically, the state senators and representatives sponsoring this bill don’t really seem to want it to pass. “It’s one of those bills, you do it for public dialogue instead of trying to get it passed,” state Representative Bob Herkes (D, 5th District) told the AP. “It helps to find out what the public thinks, and this is the way to do it.”

TUESDAY, Feb. 13 Just in case you were wondering how much money $575 million truly is—besides the reported amount a hui including superdeveloper Everett Dowling, Trinity Investments and Morgan Stanley Real Estate paid to get their hands on Makena Resort—I did some checking. That much cash will get you 19 Trident D-5 nucleararmed submarine-launched ballistic missiles ($29.1 million apiece), one Norwegian Star cruise liner ($400 million) or five communications satellites (about $100 million each). In addition, that kind of money dwarfs the purchase price of a private island in the Caribbean ($1.75 million each) and nearly equals the gross domestic product of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean ($500 million).

The teller asked if he had an account, and Provost replied, “This is not a joke.

I have a gun. I do this for a living.”

However, he opened his bag to reveal that he had no gun and then asked for a tissue for his runny nose. The teller said she didn’t have one.

WHALES: continued from page 9

How did you get involved in humpback whale research?

FINE POINTS OF THE LAW

I got involved back in the late ’80s.

I was doing a masters with kids and ended up studying dolphins. My advisor wanted to compare how kids process information with how dolphins do. It’s one of those moments in life when you know exactly what you’re going to do. I then spent several years working in marine education kind of trying to break down what we were learning from a scientific perspective and creating education programs for the public around that. And then about 10 years ago I decided that I needed to go back into the field.

The whales tend to be my muse. I started working on my Ph.D. and formed a nonprofit organization, Whale Trust, about five years ago, with two of my colleagues, Jim Darling and Flip Nicklin.

Elementary schoolteacher’s aide Kumi Houston of Williamson County, Texas, was fired in November after she allegedly admitted to a sheriff’s detective that she allowed an 11-year-old boy to reach under her bra and fondle her (which would clearly be illegal). However, as Houston’s attorney later explained, her statement (which Houston did not deny making) was not necessarily a confession. What happened, said attorney Robert Phillips, is that his client “made a statement. It may be an admission, or it may be just [her] version of what happened.

That’s not a confession.”

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS James Lane III, 27, was arrested in Carrboro, N.C., in January after police chased him, in his car and later on foot. Officers tackled Lane about 20 feet into a wooded area and recovered a white plastic bag containing a pound of marijuana. When police pulled Lane to his feet, he said that someone must have left the bag on the ground at precisely the spot in the woods where Lane fell, because he had never seen it before.

I saw on your website that your research centers around the reproductive and mating strategies of female humpbacks. Why does that interest you?

When I started working with Jim and Flip about 10 years ago, the main focus of our work was looking at the social function of humpback songs, looking at why males sing songs during the wintertime. And what the presumption was at that time—that the males must be singing to attract females. And in fact our research has shown was that male singers attract other males, not females.

CELEBRATE THE VEGETABLES The Bosnian town of Bijeljina proposed in November to build a giant cabbage monument to honor its most important crop.

“We very much appreciate this vegetable,” said the director of the town’s tourism office. And Briton Richard Townsend, 24, on a personal mission in December, ate 36 Brussels sprouts in one minute, seeking the world record, but fell seven short. He said he had trained by eating a plate of brussels sprouts every day for six weeks. MTW

We’re thinking that maybe the song is a way to facilitate these male-male interactions so they can sort out their own hierarchy within their own social structure.

The male is trying to sort out, “Are you my friend? Are you going to work with me to help me get a female or are you going to work against me?” Then the question obviously becomes, well, where does the female fit in?

That’s what led to my research and looking at female behavior here on the breeding grounds, specifically looking at how reproductive status may affect female behavior. And looking at male-female interactions here on the breeding ground.

I noticed that you’re in charge of coordinating all the children’s activities at Whale Quest. What kinds of activities are planned?

There’s fifth and sixth graders that are coming. There are about 200 of them that will be coming. We will have a matching station where each kid gets their own fiveby-seven whale tail and they learn, in this one, how being able to identify an individual whale helps us learn about the whale.

In other words, if we can identify an individual that can tell us who the whale hangs out with, it can tell us what their migration patterns are—they could go to summer in Alaska, they come here in the winter. We let them know how that feeds into the research and each kid goes throughout the room and finds their matching whale tail.

It’s a very critical part of what we do is trying to simply match all the individual whales with all the picture that we take so they get to try that.

Whale Quest runs Feb. 16-18 at the Ritz Carlton, Kapalua. All events are free. For more information call 669-2440. MTW

‘Bring Them Back to What?’

With more convicts than ever being sent to Mainland prisons, we look at Hawai`i’s overcrowded correctional system

By Greg Mebel

14

FEBRUARY 15, 2007

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

The Maui Community Correctional Center (MCCC) has seen better days. It’s overcrowded and in disrepair. Designed in the 1970’s to house 209 inmates, the actual population can reach near double that number.

“Major repair and maintenance needs must be addressed if we’re going to stay here,” Acting Warden Alan Nouchi says. “The roof leaks and one of the wooden dormitories, in my opinion, is not fit for habitation.”

When asked if he’s put in for a maintenance request, Nouchi says, “My problem would be where would the inmates go when the structure goes down?

We’d have to put up some portable tents or ship ‘em off.

MCCC is authorized to employ 169 officers, but has had to make do with just 100, who work very hard and earn a lot of overtime.

“We’re supposed to be providing a safe, clean and secure environment,” he says. “I have a fence line that is rusting. In a nutshell, some big decisions will have to be made.”

Overcrowding is well known on the Mainland. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recently brought a lawsuit against an overcrowded privately operated prison in San Diego. Conditions there were so crowded prison officials chose to “triple cell” inmates. The ACLU based its case on the view that society must not impose cruel and unusual punishment on the incarcerated.

These days, three prisoners sharing a cell is common for Hawai`i’s Community Correctional Centers.

The Maui News recently ran a story on the condition of mental health care in the Oahu Community Correctional Center (OCCC). Vit Patel, the chief psychiatrist for the Hawai`i Department of Public Safety (DPS), which runs the prisons, was quoted as saying, “If you are a prisoner, God help you.” The story went on to detail deplorable conditions and subsequent lawsuits by the ACLU as well as investigations by the Department of Justice.

A variety of ideas are floating around Maui to address MCCC’s overcrowding. For one, the state may build a new Maui prison at the old Pu`unene airstrip. In fact, DPS officials recently began meeting with Governor Linda Lingle on the plan. One item up for discussion is what to do with the $24 million the state Legislature approved last year for a new Maui prison.

In 1995, state officials decided a good “temporary” fix for prison overcrowding was to send 300 prisoners to mainland prisons. In the last 11 plus years many more prisoners have been sent, and more are slated to go.

There’s a proposal pending in the Legislature to increase by 200 the number of inmates sent to the mainland. That would bring the number to more than 2,000. It’s expected to pass easily.

Today near half of the state’s prisoners serve their time in mainland facilities. In fact, Hawai`i is first in the nation for sending prisoners out of state and contracting penal services.

Originally, prisoners went to prisons in Texas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado, Mississippi, Kentucky and Arizona, all run by different agencies and corporations. Since then, Hawai`i has negotiated a contract with the Nashville, Tennessee-based Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) to handle all the state’s mainland prisoners.

CCA, a publicly traded company (symbol: CXW), says they’ve saved the state millions of dollars while solving issues Hawai`i hasn’t been able to solve on its own. In the last year, its stock has doubled from $26.74 a share to nearly $50.

“The Company is the nation’s largest owner and operator of privatized correctional and detention facilities and one of the largest prison operators in the United States, behind only the federal government and three states,” says the CCA website. “The Company currently operates 64 facilities, including 40 company-owned facilities, with a total design capacity of approximately 72,000 beds in 19 states and the District of Columbia.”

It costs Hawai`i less per day to house prisoners with CCA than it costs the

state per day. CCA spokesman Steve Owen has said that the company has saved Hawai`i $128 million in the first 10 years.

Others aren’t so sure. Reports from the DPS say that certain medical expenses, transportation costs, and long-distance teleconferencing, aren’t covered in Hawai`i’s contract. More importantly, there are the costs of recidivism, mainland gang exposure, the costs to families in Hawai`i and the extra costs of monitoring.

Having privately run corporations run prisons is controversial, to say the least.

In 2006, students and teachers at Yale University forced that school to divest all $90 million it had with CCA. Citing issues ranging from prisoner mistreatment and staff incompetence, to general distaste for putting “dollars into dungeons,” many groups have protested the growing private prison industry.

Besides housing prisoners and running prisoner programs, CCA builds prisons.

In fact, they can build a prison far faster than a government agency.

Plus, CCA hasn’t built a prison in any Hawai`i resident’s backyard. This certainly helps their popularity.

CCA’s latest answer to the Hawai`i inmate question is Saguaro, a new prison in Eloy, Arizona scheduled to open this summer. Built solely for inmates from Hawai`i, it will hold 1,896 beds.

Building the prison will help CCA as well, freeing up space in other facilities for the new California inmates the company recently contracted to house.

RECIDIVISM One of the biggest problems facing Hawai`i’s prison system today is recidivism.

In fact, simply being in prison is the single greatest indicator of an ex-con’s likelihood of returning to prison. For Hawai`i’s prisoners, an amazing 51 to 82 percent of inmates will get in trouble after their release, according to a Hawaii DPS study from December of 2002.

There has been a recent state push for more “transitional” or “community” beds (read: minimum security facilities) and to get low-security convicts out of highsecurity prisons. At the end of January, the state House and Senate Public Safety committees heard testimony on a variety of bills addressing this issue from different angles: funding for Maui’s Being Empowered and Safe Together (BEST) reintegration program; expanding Restorative Justice programs; finding locations for new minimum security centers.

Transitional beds go to “community” or “minimum” level security inmates.

There are roughly 50 detainees at MCCC who’d fall into this category.

Prison reformers see “community beds” as a step in the right direction, but fear wasted opportunity. They’re trying to convince lawmakers that new prisons without reintegration programs will only perpetuate the problems.

“We’re hoping that DPS invests its money in reintegration programs and we close the revolving door,” says Kat Brady, coordinator of the Community Alliance on Prisons.

Carrie Anne Shirota, who directs the BEST Program, agrees. “If we only build more prisons, my fear is that we’ll just be throwing money into a system that’s failed at rehabilitation and reintegration in our community,” she says.

The Reentry Policy Council says 97 percent of prisoners will eventually return to civilian life. With current recidivism levels, most will end up back behind bars.

Add to the mix new offenders, general Hawai`i population growth and the trend toward “tough on crime” legislation like the “Three Strikes” law of 2006, the prison population is going to grow even faster and inmates will stay locked up even longer. A June 5, 2005 Maui News editorial cites a four-fold growth projection at MCCC by 2013.

Experts assessing the options say that even at today’s levels, even if all community and minimum-security convicts left high-security prisons, there’d be no place to send them. The State doesn’t have the housing or programs in place. And Hawai`i’s non-profit sector has many programs, but lacks the funding and staff to handle the increased load.

Then there’s the local growth of gangs among released prisoners. “Hawai`i has unleashed a monster,” says Brady.

It seems that when the state sent inmates from Hawai`i to mainland prisons, they came into contact with mainland gangs. Some became gangsters themselves.

When released, they return to Hawai`i as full-fledged members of United Samoan Organization (USO), La Familia and Mafioso.

“In Maui we’ve been fortunate and there haven’t been any major problems,” Nouchi of MCCC says, though he adds that his staff has had to learn about gang tattoos and markings.

THE FAMILIES Sending so many prisoners off to the mainland splits up inmate families like

never before. In an attempt to soften the situation, Senate Bill 917 would return all female prisoners held on the mainland to Hawai`i by 2009.

Officials from DPS have said that they couldn’t possibly make this happen as the current Women’s Community Correctional Center (WCCC) in Kailua on Oahu can’t handle such an increase.

Still, the bill brings up the question of the long-term costs of keeping parents so far from their children—even if those parents are criminals.

The number of women getting locked up is actually growing faster than the number of men. Between 2003 and 2005, there was a 51 percent rise in the number of males convicted of crimes involving ice. For women, the increase was 69 percent.

Nationally, the Child Welfare League of America says 75 percent of all incarcerated women have children. These children are six times more likely to end up in prison themselves, according to a recent study by the Urban Institute.

RaeDeen Keahiolalo-Karasuda, a doctoral candidate at the University of Hawai`i, is studying the impact of incarceration on families and communities.

After weighing the available statistics, she contends the prison system in Hawai`i is creating more problems than it needs to.

In her January 2007 testimony to the state house she says, “I ask that you please intervene in and stop this situation where one generation is being exiled to out-ofstate prisons and the next generation is being dispersed throughout U.S. foster and adoption systems.”

She encourages the state to consider regular family visits, saying this will help increase rates of prisoner rehabilitation as well as better psychological health of the as-yet, non-criminal children. But in the 2003 case Overton v Bazetta, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that some restrictions on child visits are actually designed to protect the children themselves, though the Court went on to say that a “de facto” ban on all visits would be illegal.

While there isn’t a ban on contact with Mainland prisoners, it’s not very convenient for a family in Hawai`i to get to Arizona. Still, the courts have been very consistent in their rulings that “parents in prison have no right to insist on staying in their home state for the sake of their children.”

EFFECTIVE MONITORING The Hawai`i DPS now includes a Mainland Operations branch. This office ensures that CCA lives up to their contractual agreements and that all Hawai`i prisoners are being handled appropriately at their Mainland prisons. Still, questions have arisen as to whether there is effective monitoring of out-of-state prisons.

In one case in 2006, Sarah Ah Mau, 43, died while housed at the Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright, Kentucky. In a Jan. 4, 2006 Honolulu Advertiser story, Kat Brady of the Community Alliance on Prisons said that inmates reported to her Ah Mau had stomach pain for four weeks, but prison guards only gave her laxatives. When Ah Mau tried to convince prison officials that she was seriously ill, she was threatened with being sent into isolation if she continued to complain.

In the story, Michael Gaede, who was then the DPS spokesman, said that Otter Creek records showed only that prison officials gave Ah Mau castor oil for constipation and that there was no record of her returning for follow-up treatment.

These and other health and contract stories have led to a state house bill proposing better monitoring of inmates on the mainland. But local correctional facilities don’t have a much better record of monitoring. Audits occur roughly once a year, but are often performed by peers rather than disinterested third party observers.

In either case, better monitoring of prisons is paramount to ensure that punishment is meted out according to our society’s standards.

But when it comes to funding, the relatively small prisoners’ rights lobby usually gets lost in the crowd fighting for more popular and socially acceptable budget items like schools and hospitals.

Kaleihau Kamau`u knows all about this. He works with Hui Kak`o’ Pa`o Hao, an Oahu community based support group for prisoners and their families.

Kaleihau spent 28 years behind bars. He was also a party to a successful lawsuit allowing Hawaiian prisoners in Mainland facilities to practice their traditional spirituality.

Some prison experts say male inmates prefer the Mainland because they get televisions in their cells and a better choice of food in the prison commissary. But Kaleihau thinks the majority of Hawai`i’s Mainland prisoners would actually rather stay on the Mainland for an entirely different reason.

“Reason is that the system in Hawai`i is screwed,” he says. It would be “a beautiful thing” to bring people back to the state, he says, but “bring them back to what?”

Westside’s all-star grinds

I can wake up to this everyday. It could be love at first taste, but, at the very least, a major hook up. After all, scrumptious local eats in West Maui for less than five bucks is a rare catch.

The Maui Baldwin Packers built the Honolua Store in the 1930’s. “During the plantation era, it was a place mainly where the working farmers can

charge what they need,” says assistant manager Momi Blando.

Being Filipino, I was humbled to stand on the grounds and some of the original woodwork where my ancestors received retail therapy after a day’s backbreaking labor. It definitely paved the way for many others who now frequent the place while also toiling laboriously on their tans.

Past the branded apparel, travel souvenirs and necessities, smelly candles and just to the left of the fresh coffee machines, are home-cooked

options galore: a hobo breakfast plate with eggs any way you like it atop mounds of steaming white rice, corned beef hash, Portuguese sausage and loco moco. Think of a few other breakfast meats, SPAM included, and chances are they probably have it. And it’s all delicious. Also available are restaurant-fluffy pancakes, Belgian waffles and biscuits with brown gravy.

Keeping the experience open for last-minute gastronomic detours, sometimes I go when it’s a quarter before 10 a.m., when breakfast ends but the lunch menu is just being set up. But please don’t be rude and wait until the very last moment. My way, you give enough courtesy to have the best of both worlds without the karmic consequence of being a jerk.

My most recent lunch order consisted of the Friday special and shoyu chicken, which was cooked perfectly and blanketed in a nicely balanced, savory-sweet sauce. There are few things more relaxing than grabbing lunch to go, plopping yourself by a patch of grass near the ocean and watching a whale breach while stuffing a variety of tender landloving meats in your mouth.

Serving around 200 satisfied opus everyday, it’s also a perfect stop to load a picnic basket with a plethora of beverages, potato chips, fine and not-so-fine wines, musubis, manapuas, fresh poke, deli sandwiches and salads. There are even Chicago-style hot dogs, which I tried in the spirit of Daaaaa Bears getting in the Superbowl. They might not have all the traditional Chicago trimmings, but if you add some condiments and a kick of Sriracha, they definitely get the spirit. MTW

ThIS WEEK’S PICKS

by Samantha Campos

Aerial Athletes on Parade Thursday-Friday (Feb. 15-16), 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Theater [ACROBATS] I accepted this Anti-Gravity “Pick of the Week” assignment solely on the strength of the name. “Anti-Gravity” conjured in my creative mind images of sadomasochistic bygone acquaintances’ experimental use of the man-tranquilizer known as the gravity bong (and in one unforgettably comical occurrence, the dreaded reverse-gravity bong). I figured if Anti-Gravity turned out to be half as entertaining or scientifically intriguing as either the gravity or reverse-gravity bong, it would be an event not to be missed. From what I’ve gathered since, Anti-Gravity promises to deliver on both counts. Anti-Gravity is an “aerial entertainment ensemble” from New York that has staged over 400 international productions. Comprised of a world-class collection of athletes (including some ex-Olympians), gymnasts and dancers, they’ve performed their stunning aerial routine for such societal luminaries as Richard Branson, George Lucas, Bill Gates, Steven Forbes, Paul Newman and… Diddy and Daddy Yankee? (Don’t laugh, it’s in the press release)—perhaps because even the greatest minds of our generation need someone to explain the differences between the gravity bong (funny), reverse-gravity bong (even funnier), and Anti-Gravity (just plain fun).

A Month ‘til St. Patty’s Day! Friday (Feb. 16), 7 p.m. at St. John’s Church, Keokea; Saturday (Feb. 17), 6 p.m. at Mulligan’s on the Blue, Wailea [IRISH MUSIC] When I was younger, to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, a bunch of us crazy kids would get together and drink a lot of beer and make this conglomeration that we called “St. Patty’s Day Stew.” It consisted of a ton of red meat, old red wine and spouting potatoes. Then, we’d lie around and trip out while watching Jimi Hendrix’s Rainbow Bridge for the gagillionth time. Happy days. Now that we’re all grown up and have more than $22 between us, we’re gonna do St. Patty’s the right way: a month in advance, threecourse Irish meal, Guinness on tap, and authentic Irish music by Michael Black. Michael began his career in music by listening to his mother, Patty Black, singing around the kitchen during his childhood. His father, Kevin Black, was an accomplished musician from Rathlin Island, a remote island in the channel between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Bottom line—real Irishman, real Irish music.

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Fudging Factory Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce soar above piecemeal biopic Sienna Miller embodies Edie Sedgwick with a thoroughly convincing performance that is a highwire act of emotional and physical alchemy to match Guy Pearce’s pitch-perfect incarnation of Andy Warhol in director George Hickenlooper’s perfunctory biopic about the brief heir to 1960’s supermodel Twiggy. The story of American blue blood Edie Sedgwick’s quick rise to fame through her association with Andy Warhol, and her equally rapid burnout due to psychological trauma and drugs, is told through expository flashbacks.

Factory Girl

★★★★★

Red shirt, blue blood

Rated R/87 mins.

An older Edie talks candidly to a Santa Barbara psychiatrist near the end of her life (she died of a drug overdose at the age of 28). In spite of Miller and Pearce’s spot-on performances, the movie is a scrapbook parade of disjointed set pieces that outline in broad terms the life of an incest survivor repeatedly sent unnecessarily to mental hospitals by her father Fuzzy (James Naughton) in order to hide his sexual relationship with his daughter.

It’s a mistake to compare Edie Sedgwick with modern day famous-forbeing-famous party girls whose shavedcrotch-appeal amounts to a hill of beans compared to Edie’s liberating boldness, charisma, intelligence, moxy and eternally modern beauty. There is a famous black and white photo from the 1965 issue of Vogue where Edie stands in a ballet pose balanced on one leg atop a leather rhino, presumably in an affluent New York apartment. Her arms are extended like a bird’s wings with her fingers held in clas-

sical ballet position except for the fact that she’s holding a cigarette in her right hand.

There’s a large sketch of a horse on the wall behind her that seems to gallop along at the same pace as Edie’s living room flight. In tights and a loose-fitting t-shirt, with short bleached blond hair and fake eyelashes, Edie is a mesmerizing sculpture of a slightly androgynous image whose complexity is limitless in its immediacy and disciplined escapism.

Casting is 80 percent of a director’s job, and George Hickenlooper comes away with

an entertaining movie thanks to the expert work of his ensemble cast, with the exception of Hayden Christensen’s goofy performance as a Bob Dylan character referred to in the closing credits only as The Musician. The faux-Dylan romantic subplot with Edie gives a plot twist that causes Warhol to reject Edie out of jealousy.

This reaction, coupled with intimate time spent with Warhol’s Polish mother who regards Edie as a potential girlfriend for Andy, points at the unlikely couple as two equally asexual beings. Edie’s performance in one of several films that she made for Warhol, involves Factory denizen Gerard Malanga (Jack Huston).

Edie grooves to the music and glows until a male co-actor approaches her intimately from behind. Edie reacts with a severe revulsion to the physical contact expressed by the unmistakable expression on her face.

As a hurried contemplation on a splinter zeitgeist of the 1960’s counter-culture, Factory Girl gives flashes of light that never illuminate Edie’s date with doom that she foreshadows in voice-over about the broken lifeline on her palm that predicts she will not live past 30.

Hickenlooper leaves out any reference to John Palmer’s Caio Manhattan, the vaguely autobiographical film responsible for much of Edie’s lasting fame in our collective subconscious. Its prominent absence only underscores other sketchy elements, like the vague presence of The Velvet Underground, whose music is poorly emulated in the film’s otherwise evocative soundtrack. MTW

ART&ENTERTAINMENT

BY SAMANTHA “SISKEL” CAMPOS AND KRISTA “EBERT” SHERER SAM@MAUITIME.COM AND KRISTA@MAUITIME.COM

Familial Mania On You Can’t Take It With You You Can’t Take It With You is a Pulitzer Prize winning comedy by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart that originally opened in 1936. It features the contrast of two dissimilar families and a seemingly doomed courtship. We had no idea what we were in for: KRISTA SHERER: I loved this play.

I thought it was touching and colorful, jazzy, kitschy, playful. I loved the lessons in it, what it was trying to talk about—I think everybody can relate to it. Everybody thinks their family is weirder than others. I loved the two worlds clashing.

SAMANTHA CAMPOS: Yeah, I could definitely relate to the dynamics of having such a jumbled assortment of characters in my bloodline.

And I think they did a great job with the period wardrobe and set—it looked believable, you know? A real, “lived in” living room.

SHERER: I loved the sound of the typewriter! You don’t hear that noise anymore and there’s something nostalgic about that. It reminds me of an era we’re coming out of—nothing to do with technology. And you know, it was a very political play. I’ll tell you, I was really shocked at how uncomfortable I was with the servants (played by Lorie Daniels and Rueben Carrion)—the Porgy & Bess thing?

28

FEBRUARY 15, 2007

CAMPOS: I know! And I realize the dialogue and characterization were right for the time, but my first reaction was it made me kinda queasy.

SHERER: Well, it was very apropos for this month—Black History Month. It brings us to a consciousness of where we’ve been, and where we are. We don’t want to be reminded but it’s real. We do need to be reminded. This is a part of our history.

CAMPOS: You’re right. That’s a good point. But what about Grandpa (played

by Jonathan Lehman)? He was such a Buddha—a perfect, natural sage. Plus he had style! Savoir-faire! And he wore hats!

SHERER: I didn’t feel like he was acting, I felt like he was channeling this beautiful knowledge that was very deep. I can’t tell if he was just a fabulous actor or if the role suited him as a person.

CAMPOS: Me, neither. Probably both.

SHERER: I love how as a family they were so manic but very supportive of each other. Mama Sycamore (played by Kristi Scott) was very cute and funny. It was her husband (played by Brian Miller) I was very annoyed with in the beginning by his softness, his weakness. And then I realized in the end that he had to be

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

that way to compensate for the loudness of the rest of the family.

CAMPOS: That’s funny you should say that. ‘Cause I almost found myself to be a little embarrassed by Mrs. Sycamore’s grandeur—until the end, when she showed some vulnerability. And Mr. Sycamore, too—when they had to display doubt and fear, that really rounded out their realness to me, and all of their previous actions suddenly made sense.

SHERER: Mr. DePinna (played by Richard McLaughlin) reminded me of the pirate from the Princess Bride. I kept expecting him to say, “Inconceivable!” A lot of the characters took a while to warm up. Tony Kirby (played by Sam Sternthall), especially—but when he came in with rumpled hair, something freed him.

CAMPOS: I think that had a lot to do with his character really coming into his own and standing up to his rigid father, too.

SHERER: Okay, getting on to our favorite—Boris Kolenkhov (played by William Makozak)! He brought so much zest, pizzazz, to the stage. He was like a tall Vodka tonic. He was hilarious. A total scene-stealer.

CAMPOS: Yeah, I loved him.

He had that accent down so well I actual-

ly looked up his name in the program to see if he really was Russian. How about that Russian chick—The Grand Duchess (played by Sharleen Lagattuta)?

Awesome. Her laugh slayed me.

SHERER: I think I met her in a bar once. I’m kidding, but she was striking.

And a great actress. And that last scene was very tender. Like you said, the switching of the roles, beautifully done. It definitely invoked emotion. The whole audience was on the edge of their seats, with the two worlds colliding. The woman next to me was literally sitting on the edge of her seat. MTW

Sometimes I wait until I have guests coming over before I properly clean my apartment. Similarly, Valentine’s Day (bullshit though it is) can be a jump start for your sense of romance. You should embrace it more often, just like I should scrub my place whether or not I’m expecting company. But we both know it doesn’t work out that way. Well, at least it can work out some way, this week.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Perhaps you’re sending out the wrong signals. People keep trying to do nice things for you, but their efforts are missing the mark, because they’ve gotten the wrong impression of what you want or need. You can imagine how disappointing it is for someone to go to tremendous trouble only to receive a heartfelt, “Well, it’s the thought that counts,” when they thought they’d hit a home run.

It’s not them, though. It’s you. Be more obvious, especially this week, about some of the things that might make you especially happy. Help us, in other words, help you.

I love it when my dog Eli gets so excited about something that he vocalizes in a way that really sounds like he’s trying to talk. Unfortunately, people might have more luck understanding my pup’s nonsense than figuring out what you’re attempting to articulate this week. It’s possible to prevent a lot of confusion, embarrassment, and frustration, though, by simply keeping your mouth shut. That doesn’t mean turning into a wallflower, however. It just means you’ll have to communicate primarily non-verbally this week. You may find, however, that you’re not only quite good at that—but it can also be incredibly fun.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Some Bulls clung faithfully to their VCRs until they had no choice but to glumly upgrade to DVDs. I don’t think it’s an especially Taurean trait to resist embracing new technology, per se, but each of you picks one particular area of your life in which to drag your feet. Resisting change is fine, when there’s good reason for it; the world moves too fast sometimes. But give us a little credit here; we know you. If one of your friends is pushing you faster than you want to go, there’s probably a good reason. Instead of being ornery and punishing them for their good intentions, would you please consider just going where they’re trying to take you?

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) What would a movie of your life be about? I know you’ve got some compelling story to tell, but I’m afraid you may have lost track of what it is, buried beneath the mundane details of your daily existence. This week, rediscover some of the more extraordinary chapters of your life. You need to remind yourself of some of the cooler shit you’ve already done, so when you embark on the next great adventure of your life this week, you’ll be inspired to try something truly new.

When learning math in high school, I absolutely sucked at memorizing formulae and remembering the kinds of problems they applied to. However, if someone could explain to me the concepts behind solving the problems, I did quite well. Naturally, this was a more complex way to convey the necessary information, when most people were perfectly happy to simply remember that for problem A they plugged in formula C, and so on. Pat, superficial solutions won’t work for you either. You have to understand the problems behind the problems, and solve those. Beware of anything that smacks of a simple answer this week. That’s likely to only cover over the problem so you can ignore it until it’s much, much worse.

I can think in three different languages; it’s interesting to watch, based on my proficiency in each language as well as the structure of the language itself, how my thoughts and perceptions change.

It’s like putting a different filter on a camera lens, or a different color gel on a spotlight. I find it helpful at times to switch modes, to see something from a slightly different angle. You could benefit, too, from a somewhat altered perspective. If all else fails, I’ll suggest one change of perspective that almost always works: distance. Going far away from your quandary for a while means you’ll almost certainly see it differently, and perhaps also see a way through it that wasn’t obvious before.

You’re more motivated by rewards than punishments. Fear of consequences or reprisals won’t usually get you to do something you don’t want to do. But the chance at recognition, impressing someone you admire, or even more tangible and delicious desserts will often get your ass in gear when nothing else will. Unfortunately, you’re not lucky enough to have anyone goading you with either potential chastisement or praise at the moment. You have to be your own taskmaster/benefactor, and provide your own reprimands or compliments, punishments or rewards. Play that role for yourself, or look forward to a week where you don’t get shit done.

This week’s New Moon in Aquarius is a perfect chance to “reset” a friendship. If your relationship with someone has gone somehow awry, here’s a chance to correct it and put the whole thing back on a better track. They’d accept a sincere apology now, even if they’ve rejected them before.

It’s not just about making amends, though. By the end of this week, you want your friendship to not only be back to where it was once, but somewhere way better. Settling for less would just be boring and lame.

How well can you transcend your habits, even temporarily? I’m sorry to say that you’re probably more in their grip than you’d like to imagine. Would it take a diagnosis of lung cancer for you to quit smoking, for example? Or could you do it before things got that extreme? If you give the universe no alternative but to give you a sign you can’t ignore, it will do exactly that, sooner or later. However, if you prove willing to heed lesser signals and free yourself from your worst tendencies before they get the best of you, you might get one this week.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) When was the last time you really challenged yourself? I mean really tested what you could do, by taking on something you honestly didn’t know you could probably succeed at? Mostly you’ve been playing it relatively safe lately, only trying things if you were pretty sure they would work out well. You’re supposed to be the adventurers and risk-takers of the zodiac. Your street cred is sinking fast, baby. Better do something dramatic to beef it up, and soon, or you might find yourself the new astrological homebodies everyone feels slightly sorry for.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You have a reputation for being unforgiving, but I think it’s mostly undeserved. I’ve seen you, after all, give people third, fourth, or fifth chances. You deserve that unkind label only in regards to yourself—because you almost never give yourself even a second chance to fix something you’ve screwed up, let alone more. Can’t you be a little gentler with yourself, at least this week? You deserve a few tries, especially because what you’re attempting now is something you’ve never done before.

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

More Birds than Bees All nature seems at work… The bees are stirring—birds are on the wing… and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

McCoy Tyner - piano Gerald Cannon - bass Eric Kamau Grávátt - drums This concert is part of the American Jazz Masters Series – a national intiative funded by the National Endowment for the Arts to bring jazz to all 50 States!

They were there, the beautiful crowd, at Bob Fest on Sunday. And subsequently, there were a lot of baseball caps and plastic cups full of beer, as well as girls in clusters beaming up at the stage, where Bret Bollinger and Kaleo Wassman of Pepper were rockin’ out, shirtless and horny.

“Does anybody like sex anymore?” Wassman asked the crowd, before launching into the song, “Dirty Hot Sex.” “Why don’t you have dirty hot sex with meeee? Oh yeah! I’m begging you darlin’ pleeeease. Oh yeah!”

As the sun set on the west side of the island, swirls of color sprayed over clouds atop Iao Valley, creating a tangerine-guava glow over the faces of the 2,500 or so in attendance at the MACC’s A&B Amphitheater. And as the glowing masses raised their beers and roared gleefully in a salute to sex and all its dirty hot glory while my boyfriend remained impassive, it dawned on me.

I might like sex more than him.

Granted, it’s important to me. Having sex is my favorite way to unwind, to release, to connect with my partner. It’s a pleasurable use of all of my senses at once and it makes me feel beautiful. But more than that, sex to me is a culmination of all life’s experiences in one simple act, an expression of who I really am, and it never, ever feels like a waste of time.

This shouldn’t be shocking news coming from a healthy, vibrant woman in the 21st century. Since the late 1960’s, sexuality morphed from mere biological imperative to recreational pastime, and dramatically affected how society viewed women and morality, in general. Women, and not just men, it seemed, liked sex for sex.

“Sex evolved as a way to deal with stress and its consequences,” writes Aurora M. Nedelcu in the paper, “Sex as a response to oxidative stress.” She was referring to Volvox carteri, a green algae that can switch between sexual and asexual reproduction, depending on their needs. But clearly, there is a fungus among us.

And yet, it seems there remains a lingering unease about women’s sexuality. Celebrity sex tapes are a prime example. With Pamela and Tommy, Paris and Rick—and now Paris’s BFF Kim and Ray-J—it’s the women who are labeled “porn stars.” The guys get high-fives. Likewise, civilian women who have sex with more than one partner are still subject to being called “the town slut,” while guys are simply “players.”

Unfortunately, this attitude filters into relationships as well. Most of my girlfriends and I can recall past lovers who’ve accused us of being “oversexed,” implying that by wanting more than their previously comfortable sexual status quo, that there is something inherently wrong with us.

According to Melissa LaRicca on the website AskMen.com, women are most likely to want to have sex on particular occasions—like, after an argument, or when she’s happy, stressed or jealous, or when she’s ovulating, dancing or drinking, or just saw a steamy sex scene with Viggo Mortensen (or Johnny Depp, Scarlett Johansson or Sasha Baron Cohen, depending), has been away or abstinent, has been single for awhile, or is using her creativity in some context (writing a column, perhaps??).

So yeah… that means women are potentially in the mood—given the appropriate company—RIGHT NOW. Not surprisingly, the most common complaint I hear from my committed female friends is that they’re not getting enough sex. One friend ditched her otherwise “perfect” boyfriend because of it.

“It’s part of our compatibility,” she said. “I think it signifies that, on a deeper level, we’re both not willing to communicate effectively, emotionally. And I think it’s a power issue.”

To be fair, men are faced with daily pressures that impede their libido, often to their flaccid dismay. Stress, medication, fatigue, and good ole performance anxiety can lead to the modern woman’s bête noire: “Not tonight, honey.”

But one of my friends was certain she could help solve the problem. She scoured websites and books, looking for any information that could revive her once-thrillingbut-now-nonexistent sex life. She tried seduction techniques and role-playing exercises, which somewhat killed the spontaneity. She bought toys and fancy lingerie, which worked tenuously but felt unnatural.

Finally, she went to her husband and asked what she could do to encourage his libido.

“Walk around in your wife beater and nothing else,” he said. “Just do more things naked. That’s all it takes.”
