LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR BIG BOX EQUALS BIG DEAL Council Chair [Riki] Hokama shows leadership and courage to take decisive action to protect the viability of local owner-operated (Mom & Pop) shops (Coconut Wireless, Feb. 1, 2007). Planning for appropriate business expansion land use takes understanding the dynamics and resulting impacts of competition that presents an unlevel field.

Most Super-sized (big box) operations require a gross floor area of 90,000 s.f. (two acres) containing over 25,000 product units with more than 20,000 s.f. of dedicated grocery area. National statistics reveal that for most big box entries, 60 small mom/pop operations get hurt or bite the dust. Furthermore, these offshore operations return about $.05 cents on the dollar of their profits back into the local economy as opposed to $.65 cents reinvested by homegrown outlets. Our established small businesses deserve our continued support because many offer personalized service, proved living wage jobs with security and benefits and also participate with several local community fundraisers, etc.

Many towns across the nation have had bad experiences from Big Box (superstores) that obliterated the “little guy” and then not making their quotas have shut down leaving virtual ghost towns in their wake. Free enterprise and competition will reinforce the fabric on our rural communities only if corporate giants are willing to significantly downsize their operations and abide by established Business Country Town design guidelines. If we want the quality of life on Maui to remain NO KA OI, we must

afford our local owner-operated businesses our continued loyalty and a fair chance of survival.

-Joceyln A. Perreira, WMSA/Tri-Isle Main Street Resource Center

CLARIFICATION The Feb. 8, 2007 edition of The Maui 10 on the discovery of ancient Hawaiian remains at the Kapalua Bay Hotel didn’t make clear that Maui Island Burial Council Chairman Charles Kauluwehi Maxwell, Sr.’s quote “That whole area, that Kapalua area, is considered sacred because of the thousands of remains on the sand dunes,” was referring to the dunes fronting the Ritz-Carlton hotel, not the Kapalua Bay Hotel, which is about a half-mile away.

MAUI WOW!

Everett Dowling, the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of the Wailukubased development firm Dowling Co., was already immensely powerful before his acquisition of Seibu Corporation’s Makena Resort two weeks ago. And his plan to build 71 super-luxurious, multimillion dollar condos right on Maluaka Beach has long been approved. In fact, publications like The Maui News don’t even bother to question either his “Building in Balance” motto or his promise to make the Makena condos “green.”

This is despite the fact that the standards of the U.S. Green Building Council (which Dowling professes to honor) specifically say “Avoid Environmentally Sensitive Sites”—like Maluaka Beach in Makena! But now, his hooking up with Morgan Stanley Real Estate and Trinity Investments to buy the Maui Prince Hotel and all of Seibu’s expansion plans—you know, to build another Wailea-sized community of hotels, homes and condos—means that Dowling is now pretty much the master of Makena.

The absorption of Makena Resort into the growing Dowling empire made space on The Maui 10 for a new member: construction firm Goodfellow Brothers, Inc. The brothers Goodfellow—Bert, Jack and Jim, Sr.—founded the company in Wenatchee, Washington way back in 1920. Primarily, they built dams—big ones, like Grand Coulee, and ones not so big, all over the U.S. And they also build a lot of stuff here in Hawai`i. “In 1972, Jim Goodfellow Jr. and son Steve, bid the Kihei Sewage Treatment Plant in Hawaii for Boeing Co.,” states the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce’s website. “That job began a surge of work in Hawaii where the current generation, Steve and Dan, sons of Jim Jr., are located. The company has permanent offices in western and eastern Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii.” With Goodfellow’s combination of close ties to the development community and willingness to donate money to political campaigns, they’re a natural fit for The Maui 10.

Meager Eagar The Maui News publishes less than super story on Superferry backer

Photo: PH1 R.E. Kerns/DOD

Leave it to reporter Harry Eagar and The Maui News to keep facts from getting in the way of a story about the rich and powerful. Case in point is Eagar’s Feb. 19 story “Superferry official discusses operation and business model” about a recent visit by Superferry money man John F. Lehman to Maui.

“As far as Superferry leaders are concerned, the environmental impact statement question was settled in 2005, and if the state wants to reopen it, the state can pay for any delays,” Eagar wrote. “Lehman, a former Navy pilot and secretary of the Navy with plenty of experience with the ocean, predicts that customers will be amazed at how comfortable and stable the ride is.”

Ahh, John Lehman—as subtle and gentle as ever. The scary thing is that Lehman’s probably right about the Superferry starting up in July on schedule, though you’d never know it from Eagar’s piece. Lehman is just used to getting his way. Here are three colorful examples taken from the 1995 book Fall From Glory: The Men Who Sank the U.S. Navy, written by veteran reporter Gregory L. Vistica. For some reason, Eagar never mentioned any of this in his Maui News story: • When Lehman was in the U.S. Naval Reserve and a junior aide to National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger in the early 1970’s, he started asking about getting certified to fly in A-6 Intruder bombers. Navy regulations forbid reservists like him from going to flight school, but Lehman worked his Washington connections until he got his way. “Lehman was allowed to become a naval flight officer at his own convenience,” Vistica wrote. “He never went straight through the official flight training program required of all aviation candidates that can take up to two years for pilots and twelve months for naval flight officers.” Though U.S. Navy officials insisted Lehman had done nothing wrong, controversy over his wings nearly derailed his 1981 nomination to be Secretary of the Navy.

• A few months after President Ronald Reagan appointed Lehman Secretary of the Navy, Raymond Hunthausen, the Catholic archbishop of Seattle, publicly denounced both

Lehman, 1986

Lehman’s plans to build a new submarine base in Bangor, Washington as well as his wish to name the navy’s newest nuclear powered attack submarine the U.S.S. Corpus Christi, which in addition to being a Texas city is the Latin translation of “Body of Christ.” Outraged at the bad publicity, Lehman first ordered the Naval Investigative Service to spy on Hunthausen, then attacked the archbishop in a speech saying, “There is, I believe, something deeply immoral in the use, or should I say misuse, of sacred religious office to promulgate extreme political views.” The Vatican, eager to please the Reagan Administration, later censured Hunthausen.

• Like most naval aviators, Lehman loved to party. At one point during the 1986 Tailhook Association convention at the Las Vegas Hilton, Navy Secretary Lehman found himself in one “hospitality” suite where a prostitute was stripping in front of dozens of drunken U.S. Navy and Air Force pilots. At first just an observer, Lehman soon became an active participant. “He lay down on the floor beneath the naked dancer and placed a rolled-up dollar bill in his mouth,” Vistica wrote. “The woman slowly gyrated her hips in a downward motion, with each thrust rewarded by a loud cheer from the men.

Finally, her vagina resting on Lehman’s face, she snatched the bill with her labia. ‘That’s what I call leadership,’ said Bob Lawson, a Tailhook official who witnessed the act. ‘It’s just the wrong kind.’”

Clearly, a guy like Lehman, with such a rich and fascinating past, deserves far more from a newspaper than Eagar’s meager treatment. MTW

Salary Talks

They’re the bomb!

Sometimes I’m just too ironic for my own good. In the Feb. 8, 2007 edition of this column, I made copious fun of the fact that even though the county Salary Commission just announced a new batch of raises, Liquor Control Director Franklyn Silva is the lowest paid department head in the County of Maui.

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

-Walt Kelly’s Pogo The 1960’s were a time when Cold War politics dictated that Americans live in fear of the Soviets dropping “the big one,” a nuclear bomb.

Thousands of families constructed and stocked backyard fallout shelters.

Elementary school children drilled “drop and cover” maneuvers beneath their desks.

Fortunately, that bomb never dropped. But, late in the decade there was another explosion of sorts. In 1968, Dr. Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford biologist wrote The Population Bomb, a study of unavoidable consequences of human population growth. Though some have criticized his doomsday predictions of widespread famine and food wars, Ehrlich recently pointed out that the 2.8 billion people we’ve added to the planet since the 3.5 billion already alive in 1968 certainly constitutes an explosion, which continues to degrade the global environment.

I read The Population Bomb a few years later after it published, when I was a senior in high school. It’s one of a half dozen books I’ve read that substantially changed the way I view the world around me. Page by page I read Ehrlich’s work and thought to myself, “Oh my God, we’re screwed.”

Even considering all the recent discussion of renewable energy possibilities for Hawai`i, Maui Electric Company’s (MECO) sudden announcement of plans to construct a $61 million biodiesel refinery was a bit of a bombshell. The proposal, in which MECO teams with BlueEarth Biofuels, LLC, projects a first phase output in 2009 of 40 million gallons of biodiesel fuel, more than half of the 73 million gallons of diesel MECO used in 2005 to run its generators.

While the facility would utilize imported palm oil, it aspires to set up a nonprofit public trust to encourage the growth of local fuel crops.

If all goes well, in just a few years we’ll be able to crank up our air-conditioning, set out more strings of holiday lights and heat our Jacuzzis… all guilt-free. But, closer examination of the MECO/BlueEarth proposal raises questions.

Lots of questions.

LC Watch “And those members of the Liquor Commission and Board of Adjudication aren’t pushovers, either,” I wrote, tongue firmly in cheek, of the hardships Silva has to endure each day for a paltry $87,400 a year paycheck. “[Y]ou think it’s easy going to work when some of them don’t actually worship the director, but merely revere him?”

At the Feb. 14, 2007 Liquor Commission hearing, I was shocked to see my irony spun back at me as decidedly unironic outrage.

Corporation with the Hawai`i Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Business Registration Division on Jan. 29, 2007. BlueEarth’s two principle partners, Robert Wellington and Landis Maez, live in Texas and Arizona, respectively. Is there a local connection?

The Maui News recently reported that BlueEarth is building a plant in Mason City, Iowa capable of producing 30 million gallons of biofuel. But the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association website reports that plant is being constructed by Freedom Fuels, with general contracting

by NewMech of St. Paul, Minnesota.

How did MECO select BlueEarth, a new company with no track record in Hawai`i and possibly anywhere else? By what process did they deem them worthy of this joint venture that is seeking legislative approval to receive $59 million in special purpose revenue bonds? Isn’t that the largest request of public funds since the proposed Superferry?

Also on Jan. 29, 2007, Raymond Sweeney Jr. of Sweeney Communications in Honolulu registered as a lobbyist for the BlueEarth Biofuels office Frisco, Texas. Senate Bill 1718, authorizing the revenue bonds, has already sailed through the Energy and Environment Committee, and soon will face a hearing with the Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Maui’s Roz Baker.

Henry Curtis of Life of the Land is perhaps the state’s leading renewable energy advocate. In his testimony on SB 1718, Curtis asked, “Who is applying? Why do they need money? What are the environmental, cultural, and social impacts? Or

MAUI TIME WEEKLY

are we giving away money to anyone who wants to invest in an energy project which begins in ‘bio’?”

Life of the Land, advocating for the people and the `aina since 1970, has a stated mission of preservation and protection “through sustainable land use and energy policies, and by promoting open government through research, education, advocacy, and litigation.” They are currently involved in a contested case hearing with Hawai`i Electric Company over that agency’s proposed 110 megawatt generating station at Campbell Industrial Park.

Will the “rush to renewables” allow us to make intelligent, sustainable choices, or are we heading down a feel-good path, while adversely impacting the environment in unseen ways? see BIOFUELS, page 11

“I think the Liquor Commission [director] is the only one [department head] that hasn’t had a raise,” Commission Chairman Manuel Moniz, Jr. said near the end of the hearing.

“It stands to reason that it should be reviewed. I don’t know why everyone else got a substantial raise and there was none for the Liquor Commission.”

“I’ll second that,” Commissioner Ron McOmber said enthusiastically.

Silva actually wasn’t at the hearing, but Deputy Director Wayne Pagan told the commissioners that Silva had requested a copy of the minutes from the Salary Commission hearing that dealt with the department head raises.

“I’d like to be involved and I think there’s some injustice here,” Moniz said.

“If we hire and fire the director, why don’t we have something to say—why weren’t we asked about raises?” asked McOmber.

That’s when First Deputy Corporation Counsel Tracy Fujita-Villarosa—who advises both the Liquor Commission and the Salary Commission—stepped in and explained that the Salary Commission had asked them for their opinion on giving Silva a raise because their charter requires “consultation” with any commission that has control over a department head.

“They sent one or two memos out,” she said.

Ultimately, the commissioners voted to send one or two of their own members to the next Salary Commission hearing that would deal with department head salaries, though Commissioner Fran Meshulam—who attended such hearings in the past—didn’t think it would do much good.

“They’re very disorganized,” she said.

me I had to turn my sign so no one could read it. I replied, ‘I am complying with your request to leave.’ Again she told me to turn my sign around. I told her, ‘No. I am leaving as you requested.’ She then placed herself directly in front of me (inches) blocking my ability to leave. She grabbed my arm with her right hand and my sign with the other hand, trying to pull the sign from me. I said firmly in a carrying voice, ‘Take your hands off me. I am trying to comply with your request to leave’… She then told me I was [trespassing] and followed me out to my car, demanding my ID, name, etc. I ignored her, walking directly to my car. She called for backup, called in my vehicle license plate and kept [haranguing] me… The real bummer about this is that I was going to go back and get some Korean BBQ at the Food Court afterwards…”

At least a few got kicked out because, according to The Maui News, the protest “was not authorized by mall management.” One of those tossed was Paia resident Karen Chun, who sent me the following email a few hours later: “We stood on the sidewalk holding antiwar signs,” she wrote. “Then we assembled in front of the recruiting offices on the second floor of Ka`ahumanu.

Mele [Stokesberry] read a statement against the war in one office, which was received with courtesy. At the other office, we were not allowed inside and Mele read the statement outside. We were careful not to block access. The [military] recruiters treated us with courtesy and professionalism. Then we walked, holding our medium sized hearts with antiwar messages to the escalators. We were met with Ka`ahumanu private security and told we could not demonstrate. We told them we were leaving.

I continued down the escalator, holding my sign. I walked directly to the front entrance. A security guard told

Good to see the disgraced but still feisty nonprofit Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has decided to start ripping into tax proposals way out here in Hawai`i.

Specifically, they’re taking umbrage at state Senator Shan Tsutsui (D, 4th District) and his plan to extend the state’s current $2 per day tax on rental cars and allow counties to levy an additional perday tax on rentals that could be as high as $3. “Hawaiians will soon be saying ‘aloha’ to higher taxes every time they want to rent vehicles,” ATR President Grover Norquist said in a press release sent out today. “Sen. Tsutsui is failing to check his blind spot. Hawaiians, tourists and business owners will be run over by this rental tax.” Of course, it’s hard to take Norquist and ATR seriously on this issue, though not because they’re headquartered 5,000 miles away in Washington, D.C. In October, U.S. Senate investigators released a report detailing how Norquist and ATR “appear to have perpetrated a fraud” on taxpayers by whoring their services to Republican lobbyist/convicted fraud Jack Abramoff. According to an Oct. 13, 2006 Washington Post story on the report, Norquist and other ATR officers, as well as four other groups engaged in such activities as “laundering payments

I call dibs on that crater!

and then disbursing funds at Mr. Abramoff’s direction [and] taking payments in exchange for writing newspaper columns or press releases that put Mr. Abramoff’s clients in a favorable light.”

Abramoff’s since gone to prison on a fiveyear, 10-month sentence, but it’s somehow comforting that Norquist is charging ahead as though he still has credibility.

FRIDAY, Feb. 16 By the way, last week this paper pointed out that a bill calling for a full environmental review of the proposed Superferry was up before the state House Transportation Committee, which is chaired by Joe Souki (D, 8th District), who took $1,000 from Hawaii Superferry, Inc. in 2006. Well, it should come as no surprise that Souki declined to hold a hearing on the bill, effectively killing it. Wasn’t that sweet of him?

SATURDAY, Feb. 17 Run, Dog, run!

SUNDAY, Feb. 18 Show of hands please of those who want to move to the moon and live in a “mining town” that extracts the rare isotope helium-3 from the surface? Anyone?

Today’s Honolulu Star-Bulletin has a big story on a proposal by University of Hawai`i researcher G. Jeffrey Taylor to

do exactly that to get fuel for big fusion reactors that, though clean, haven’t actually been invented yet. Stories like this are always fascinating for what they don’t say, like how such mining towns would require battalions of space marines for security.

There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with the exploration of space, though considering the fact that space vehicles and bases tend to be expensive as well as taxpayerfunded, it’s worth being honest about who ultimately benefits from using the moon for fusion reactor fuel. Though in all fairness, by the time we actually reach the point where we can fly to the moon more or less routinely, humanity will probably have evolved into some soulless cyborglike creature that considers helium-3 a tasty snack.

MONDAY, Feb. 19 In honor of President’s Day, The Maui News editorial page opines that “the lack of common civility in today’s national discourse” is “repugnant” and “destructive”–so much so that it “would probably dismay” President’s George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Really? You mean our current debate, vitriolic as it can be, is worse than the American Revolution and the Civil War–two times when “political discourse” gave way to murderous war that killed tens of thousands of people?

TUESDAY, Feb. 20 Breaking news headline from yesterday’s Honolulu Advertiser website: “Fiji coup ‘unconstitutional,’ Pacific leaders say.” Does that mean there’s such a thing as a “constitutional” coup?

WEB OF LIES In September, sheriff’s officials in Buffalo, N.Y. said Thomas Montgomery murdered a 22-year-old workplace colleague in a love triangle involving a West Virginia woman, except that two of the three triangle characters were nonexistent. Montgomery, 47, was pretending to be a young Marine in online conversation with the woman, 45, who was pretending she was her 18-year-old daughter. The murder victim had also struck up an online conversation with the woman, apparently making Montgomery jealous, but the victim, ironically, was the only one in the triangle who wasn’t someone else.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT In December, the principal of a preschool in Bellmead, Texas, issued an inschool suspension to a four-year-old boy after he hugged his female teacher’s aide with his face in her chest, which was termed “sexual contact and/or sexual harassment,” though after complaints, the offense was changed to “inappropriate physical behavior.”

INEXPLICABLE

THE CONTINUING CRISIS

For two months late last year after a pair of convicted murderers escaped from Sudbury prison in England, the local Derbyshire police refused to release their pictures. According to the police, “Photographs of named people that are in police possession are classed as data, and their release is restricted by law” to instances where there is a “proper policing purpose.” Derbyshire authorities said that since the escapees had probably left the area, there was no such purpose, and the photographs should be kept confidential.

Daring young men use the danger of moving cars for attention, especially if there’s a video camera rolling. An 18-yearold Topeka, Kan., man became the latest Jackass-imitating casualty when he bailed out of a car going 35 mph in October and suffered a serious head injury. Other video performers go “ghost riding the whip” (letting their cars coast in neutral while they climb onto the roof to dance), with at least two deaths reported. In the newest craze, Jonathas Mendonca, 22, was hospitalized in critical condition in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in January after “skiing” (holding onto the back of a car) on Interstate 95 at 65 mph.

CHUTZPAH! After Emmalee Bauer, 25, was fired by the Sheraton hotel company in late 2006, she sought unemployment compensation from the Iowa agency that offers benefits to employees terminated through no fault of their own.

ROBREPORT BIOFUELS: continued from page 8 In a Dec. 6, 2005 commentary in The Guardian, George Monbiot maintains that palm oil is worse than the fossil fuel it looks to replace.

Turns out there’s a global rush to use palm oil-derived diesel, with commodity traders listed in such diverse locales as Russia, South Korea, India and Dubai. But palm oil plantations in Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo and Thailand have faced harsh environmental scrutiny for destroying millions of hectares of rainforests.

A 2005 report by Friends of the Earth, titled Oil for Apes Scandal, found that 90 percent of orangutan habitat in Indonesia and Maylasia had been destroyed, placing the apes at the edge of extinction. Simply imperiled are the Sumatran tiger and rhinoceros, gibbons, tapirs and the Asian elephant.

A U.S. embassy energy news posting from Jakarta, Indonesia states that, “North Sumatra has avoided the haze from fires used to clear the forests for oil palm cultivation, and the oil palm plantations provide a buffer for environmentally protected areas.” A North Sumatran environmental official noted that heating the oil palm nut to extract the crude palm oil is still a dirty business, as is burning the empty husks.

BlueEarth claims they will buy palm oil imported from the Pacific Rim and in South America from suppliers “that practice sustainable palm production.” By 2011, they expect their refinery to produce 120 million gallons yearly, enough to provide fuel for electric generation on Oahu and the Big Island.

But to what extent would this giant venture employ local labor in the construction or in regular operations?

Would something of this scope and size encourage grassroots biofuel agricultural production or just benefit traditional large plantation owners and spark squabbles over water allocation?

Moreover, can MECO partner in building this facility, then buy the fuel from itself without going through a competitive bidding process? Would such a request to provide biofuels contain incentives for locally produced, not imported fuels?

Representative Mina Morita of Kauai raised an even more essential question at the Governor’s Biofuel Summit last August. She asked what, with all this talk of using agricultural lands to raise crops to produce electricity, are we doing in terms of food security?

There was no answer—just a hush

in the Hawai`i Convention Center’s meeting room. But, shouldn’t there be an equally ambitious effort to offset our state’s 85 percent dependence on imported food?

It seems that the earlier model of the family farm and small towns made a lot more sense than our current agribusinessdominated global economy. As Kelly King of Pacific Biodiesel reminded a panel audience recently, all sustainability is local. In fact, King advocates a community model of local biofuel production far different than the recent bio-bomb dropped by the big state utility.

10 Ways to Reduce our Eco-Footprint • Use compact fluorescent light bulbs • Bicycle or telecommute whenever possible • Use solar hot water heating • Trade your SUV in for a hybrid • Use a clothes line • Install a solar photovoltaic system at home • Skip a Mainland trip • Take the bus or carpool • Recycle • Plant trees (Source: Jeff Mikulina, Sierra Club Hawai`i Chapter)

In their closing argument against Hawai`i Electric’s proposed new generating plant, Life of the Land’s Curtis called for alternatives to combustion— even of biofuels—which produce less harmful emissions. He advocated Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, seawater air conditioning and wave energy, which is currently being tested off Kaneohe Bay on Oahu. Curtis reminded us that all forms of energy production have environmental impacts.

Much as we’d like to blame others for all the challenges we face in the 21 st century, we need to realize that we are the problem. Every dire environmental problem, from global warming to rainforest destruction, over-fishing to lack of fresh water, is traceable to the rapidly increasing number of humans impacting the planet. This year alone, an estimated 133 million babies are expected to be born.

Can we learn to live without our SUVs, big screen TVs and shipped-in luxuries?

Will we convince each other to live in a way that minimizes environmental degradation?

Lots of big questions, indeed. MTW

The Exchange WHO GAVE: Pacific Rim Land Company WHO RECEIVED: Maui County Mayor

Charmaine Tavares DATE: June 23, 2006 AMOUNT: $2,000

There’s a lot going on in the Feb. 14, 2007 Maui News story “Landowners want ‘partnership’ for parkway.” Put simply, a bunch of landowners, developers, contractors and consultants who want to build gobs of residential subdivisions from Puamana to the Pali have offered to build the county’s proposed Westside shoreline park in exchange for development rights along the park. “The consensus from everyone is that this is a good plan,” county Planning Director Jeff Hunt said, according the story. [T]hey want a shoreline park—it’s just a matter of how to implement it.”

Leaving aside the fact that there’s a huge difference between a public park surrounded by open space and one bracketed by homes, there’s a lot more going on here than Hunt is saying. For instance, many of the principals mentioned in the story have donated money to Tavares. Like developer Steve Goodfellow, a vice president—along with brother J. Daniel Goodfellow—of Pacific Rim Land Company, is also part of Makila Land Co., which wants to build subdivisions between Puamana and Olowalu. Big landowner Jim Riley is also part of Makila, and he gave Tavares $250 last year. Makila Land Co. consultant Rory Frampton is also a Tavares donor, though only for $100. Then there’s Olowalu Town LLC, which seeks to build more homes on land owned by Riley and Peter Martin. Its representative is Bill Frampton, whose firm Frampton & Ward gave Tavares $200 in August 2006.

I

n 1973, my parents moved to Whittier, California, a small middle class suburb of Los Angeles. There they bought a modest but comfortable house for $26,000—at the time, the median home price was about $23,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Only my father worked, and his engineer’s salary was $12,000 a year (again, just about the median income, which back then was $12,051). Since the purchase price was about twice their annual income, my parents considered the home affordable.

While Maui in 2007 is obviously a very different place socially, economically and demographically from Whittier back then, the economics of affordability remain the same. Here the median income is a solid $65,700, but the median home price has skyrocketed to a head-spinning $693,000, according to the Realtors Association of Maui. Even condominium prices have shot through the roof—the median condo price on Maui is $505,000.

Under the old rules of affordability, people on Maui earning the median income shouldn’t move into a home that costs more than about $160,000— to do otherwise is to spend far too much each month on mortgage payments, leaving nothing for savings.

But for the last few years it’s been impossible to find a house for even twice that amount anywhere on the island that’s fit for human habitation. With current median home prices standing at more than 10 times median earnings, home ownership for many residents is a bitter joke.

“There’s nothing [on Maui] to sell people working at 140 percent of the median income [$94,500 a year],” realtor John Andersen says. “And there’s lim-

ited supply up to 160 percent of the median income [$105,120 a year].”

Left unchecked, these trends could dissolve away Maui’s whole social fabric.

“Young people are leaving because they don’t see a future here,” housing advocate and former Maui Economic Opportunity Special Projects Director Tom Blackburn-Rodriguez says. “You can’t continue to bleed away your human capital.”

Last year the Maui County Council unanimously passed the Workforce Housing Policy, which requires developers to sell 40 to 50 percent of their residential projects at affordable, less-than-market prices. With developers and realtors balking at the plan—their profit margin is much lower on lower-priced homes— the council is now struggling to come up with “incentives” to keep builders from simply walking away and building nothing.

T

here’s another possibility. Exactly a year ago on President’s Day, Andersen and BlackburnRodriguez helped form the non-profit organization Na HALE O Maui (Housing and Land Enterprise of Maui). Their plan is to bring a radical new approach to building affordable housing that would, if success-

ful, get people making 80 percent to 140 percent of the median income ($32,850 a year to $94,500 a year) into homes without having to rely on exotic, risky mortgages and/or ohana rentals but still leaving enough income left over for long-term savings.

It’s called a community land trust (CLT), and though you can find it in 38 U.S. states, no one has apparently started one before in Hawai`i. The key to making a CLT work is to keep the price of the house itself distinct from the price of the land below.

“The concept is simple,” states a Na HALE o Maui promotional sheet, “separate the value of the land from the value of the improvements and sell only the improvements while keeping ownership of the land in trust forever. The owner occupant acquires title to the home and receives exclusive, possessory use of the land that is conveyed to individual landowners by means of a long-term renewable ground lease that is assignable to their heirs of the owner/lessee.”

The effect is disengage the cost of the house itself, which should more or less stay stable, from the cost of the land, which lately has been exploding. The result is a house divorced from market speculation.

“You can put a land trust house right next to a market-priced house and you couldn’t tell the differ-

ence,” said Blackburn-Rodriguez, who is the volunteer president of Na HALE O Maui. “It’s housing just like everyone else has.”

“We think the highest need is for single-family detached [homes],” Andersen said. “Rental housing, too.

What we’re hearing is rental housing is in big demand.”

Of course, there are tradeoffs to buying a community land trust home. CLT homeowners must live in the home fulltime—no timeshares or absentee landlords allowed.

There are also equity restrictions requiring CLT homeowners who want to sell their house to sell back to the trust. They’ll get a return on their investment, sure, but not nearly as much as if they’d sold in the open market.

“This is done to balance the seemingly competing goals of providing a fair return on the initial owner’s housing investment, with assuring that the housing unit is kept affordable for the next buyer,” reads one promotional sheet written by Andersen, who serves as Na HALE O Maui’s executive director. “People who buy homes through a CLT are, in essence, trading their right for unlimited market-driven appreciation in exchange for [a] significant upfront subsidy that allows them to own a home they otherwise would have been unable to afford.”

Old housing cooperatives ran on similar lines, but they largely failed because of their inability to keep owners from breaking the equity limits. Community land trusts attempt to solve this with a truly revolutionary tactic—namely, the democratization of housing. In fact, it comes perilously close to workable communal living.

A community land trust achieves this through its board of directors, which is split into three groups, each of equal size and voting power. The first is made up of land trust homeowners—the people who lease the trust’s land and live in the homes. The second holds “general representatives”—people who live in the surrounding community but don’t actually lease CLT land.

And the last group, the “public representatives,” includes local officials, bankers, non-profits and other members that, according to Na HALE O Maui, “speak for the public interest.”

In 2003, the writer Tom Wetzel explored the social ramifications of such an organization in a society dominated by private property rights in the Z Magazine article “The City.”

“As a democratic membership organization, the community land trust can empower people in a neighborhood to control what is done with the land there, what services are provided in the neighborhood, and ensure that an adequate supply of housing is provided at prices working people can afford,” he wrote. “The community land trust thus acts as a buffer to protect the housing coops against the corrosive effects of the surrounding capitalist economy.”

T

here are about 200 community land trusts currently operating on the U.S. Mainland. According to the Community Finance Solutions forum at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. established the first CLT in the U.S. in 1967 for African-American sharecroppers in Georgia.

Of course, the idea of holding property in a community trust goes back centuries. In his 1972 book The Community Land Trust: A Guide to a New Model for Land Tenure in America, author Robert Swann sees the origins of CLTs in ancient China, pre-Spanish Conquest Mexico and in old Native American tribes—all peoples that rejected the idea of a person owning land.

According to the Institute for Community Economics (ICE), a Springfield, Massachusetts-based organization

that assists non-profits in starting CLTs, a community land trust can help alleviate a variety of housing problems. In Portland, Oregon, where anti-sprawl measures have slowed growth and doubled housing prices in a 10-year period, CLTs provide working people affordable housing. In Rochester, Minnesota—a city without many housing options—the Mayo Clinic helped form a CLT for its employees. In resort areas like Martha’s Vineyard and the Florida Keys—places very similar to Maui—community land trusts offer the people who work in the rests a chance to live nearby, despite stratospheric property values.

In late 2005, Blackburn-Rodriguez, Andersen and a number of county officials attended a national Rural Community Assistance Corporation conference in Honolulu on exactly that subject. Titled “Affordable Housing in High Cost Areas,” the conference delved into CLTs in great detail.

Returning to Maui after the conference, BlackburnRodriguez, Andersen and a few others got together on Feb. 19, 2006 at the Cameron Center. There they outlined their new group, which they called Na HALE O Maui, and elected their interim board of directors—mostly from the real estate community. The Realtors Association of Maui gave them $15,000. Except for Andersen, who is the executive director, all Na HALE O Maui officials and directors work as unpaid volunteers.

So why’d it take so long for the land trust model to reach Hawai`i’s shores?

“We’re not sure if [the CLT] took a long time to reach here or if the conditions had to get such that it was seen as a viable tool,” Blackburn-Rodriguez said.

Andersen agreed. “There was an effort about six years ago to get discussions on a land trust,” he said.

“They couldn’t get any traction at that time. During the ‘90s the housing market was depressed and there were lots of affordable homes. It was really not a supply problem. But that’s changed in the last five years. Affordability for the work force has gone out the window.”

S

till in the fundraising stage–they say that so far they’ve gathered $100,000 in private donations, a $50,000 county grant and have applied for $100,000 from the state–Andersen and BlackburnRodriguez say they hope to have their first project underway by the end of this year. Within the next five years, they hope to have 300 to 500 projects done. Within a decade, they want to see between 2,000 and 2,500 properties on Maui held in community trust.

Housing analysts say there’s a shortage of between 5,000 and 9,000 affordable homes on Maui, but even if Na HALE O Maui succeeds in building even a couple thousand homes, it will be the greatest CLT success story in the U.S. That’s because just 5,000 or so community land trust homes have been built nationwide since the 1960’s, according to ICE. Remember, this is America—market forces and prop-

erty rights are still in control of our economy—and “community” ownership of just about anything has always seemed to strike people as vaguely “socialist.”

And this begs the key question that decides whether a community land trust lives or dies: why should a realtor or land developer become involved in a CLT when vastly greater profits are available in the housing market?

“There aren’t any specific incentives solely by virtue of there being a CLT,” Jeff Yegian, an ICE technical specialist, emailed me. “Local governments can create development incentives/requirements that are easiest to meet by partnering with a CLT. Otherwise, it’s pretty much up to the personal motivations of the developers and realtors.”

On the first part—incentives from local government, Andersen and Blackburn-Rodriguez see Na HALE O Maui as providing an easy way for developers to comply with the County Council’s harsh Workforce Housing Policy requirements. To get a sense of the second part of Yegian’s answer, I spoke with Tricia Morris of Hawaii’s Premiere Mortgage Co., one of the better known real estate professionals on the island, who wrote a letter for Na HALE O Maui supporting community land trusts and donated $5,000 to the organization.

“It just makes sense to me,” Morris said. “I’m in the mortgage business. I try to give back to the community.”

Then Morris said something else: “I particularly like [Na HALE O Maui] because it’s important to get people into homes.”

In other words, backers say the real estate market has gotten so expensive that there are few options available to realtors who want to sell homes to working people.

“It’s simply a situation that there’s no supply for people making up to 140 percent of the median income,” Andersen said. “Realtors know that people have to start somewhere.”

It makes sense. Sell a land trust home now, get somebody experiencing home ownership who otherwise wouldn’t have that option, and in a few years that person will be able to enter the free market. Just like the community land trust in Burlington, Vermont, which is probably the most important model Na HALE O Maui officials like Andersen look to.

“There 74 percent of those in the trust could afford to buy a home in the open market after selling their land trust house,” Andersen said. “The average time they spent in the trust was seven years.”

Think of it as an example of Alexis de Tocqueville’s “enlightened self-interest.” Americans “show with complacency how an enlightened regard for themselves constantly prompts them to assist each other,” de Tocqueville wrote in his 1835 work Democracy in America, “and inclines them willing to sacrifice a portion of their time and property to the welfare of the state.”

For its time, that was a radical view—at least as startling as the idea of free market Maui residents buying homes on community-owned land, where the homeowner, landowner and members of the nearby public can come together to decide how best to use that land. The only thing we don’t know yet is if it will work. MTW

ONO KINEGRINDS

Studio Dining Running Breakwall Café is an art.

Literally.

No one walking in can miss the canvas. More than four feet on a side, it stands by the front counter, dominating the room. When I walked in one recent lazy Saturday afternoon, just a few pencil marks adorned its surface. Gianna Mitchell, the artist, stood next to it and showed me a photo of an ocean wave she’s using as a guide for her painting.

Then she walked around the counter and made me a sandwich.

Breakwall Café 505 Front St., Lahaina, 661-7220.

Open daily, 9 a.m-5 p.m. $

Photos: Pietro Ortiz

Welcome to Breakwall Café in Lahaina. Located in the center of the 505 Front Street complex, Breakwall serves as a small breakfast, lunch and dinner nook and a studio for Mitchell, who moved to the Westside from Tallahassee, Florida six years ago. Last April she bought the café—which was also named Breakwall—and made only slight changes to the brief menu.

The veggie sandwich ($6.50), which I devoured during my Saturday visit, is particularly good. Between two toasted baguette slices—or croissant or bagel halves—she stuffs Brie cheese, lettuce,

tomato, red onions and diced pepperoncini.

There’s also a Mediterranean Salad ($8), consisting of red leaf lettuce, Brie cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions.

And there’s a large array of bagels with toppings, iced teas—the white ambrosia ($2), which tastes of coconut with the barest hint of pineapple, is outstanding—smoothies, cookies and other typical café items.

One big change Mitchell made was to replace the couple small tables that used to sit to the right of the counter with her assorted art supplies as well as computers offering web access. She put her own computer and surf boards in one corner, then covered the walls with prints of her art—a mix of her paintings of waves, barrels and surfers and “pointalism” images consisting of nothing more than colored ink dots depicting sunsets around various points of the island.

Mitchell—who wrote a couple stories for Maui Time in 2003—told me she started painting when she was a young girl but is largely self-taught concerning the more technical aspects of paints, oils and stretching canvases. Maui Hands sells some of her works, and she has

images displayed at Fish & Poi in Napili, Coffee Store Napili and No Hea Galleries on Oahu. Mitchell said she’ll paint during down times, heading back around the counter when a customer walks in.

While I was finishing my sandwich, one female customer walked in and noticed the small rack of postcards near the cash register.

“Who does the wave pictures?” she asked while waiting for Mitchell to make another sandwich.

“They’re mine,” Mitchell said.

“Oh,” the customer replied, smiling. “They’re good.”

“That’s what I like about painting,” Mitchell later told me. “Someone will see a painting and talk to you, say something they’d never say to you otherwise. It’s a very cool way to make a connection. I don’t know what it is that gets them to tell

me what’s on their mind, but I like it. I get that a lot with the surfers. I painted under the Banyan Tree one time. Even though I was listening to music and had headphones on, people were not shy about coming up and talking to me.”

A full range of aviation activities will be demonstrated like: a full sized helicopter, motor glider, ultra light flights, jet turbine models of an F-86 and F-15, plane and helicopter aerobatics, a candy drop (for real!) and more. I’m really interested in this whole aerobatics thing. I’m thinking Top Gun but then again I tend to over-fantasize. Free hands-on flight training will be available to everyone throughout the show to learn how to fly a model aircraft. That was model aircraft, folks. You didn’t really think they were going to let you in a plane, did you? Okay, I did. But only for a second.

[WORLD MUSIC] They call him “Mukanya,” after the baboon of his family totem. Yet Thomas Mapfumo is a fierce nationalist who sang to raise the spirits of the people of Rhodesia to Zimbabwe by reminding them of their cultural heritage as he spread awareness of alcoholism, AIDS and domestic violence.

He invented the chimurenga sound, also known as “struggle music,” and retains his Shona roots despite harassment from the newly elected and corrupted Zimbabwean government.

Mapfumo has been imprisoned and exiled but continues to record and perform in the fight for peace, love and laughter. He’s since become an international star, living and touring out of Oregon, despite having lost many band members to AIDS and other calamities. We could all use Mapfumo’s uplifting perspective to revive or begin our personal understanding of this era’s ongoing battle with injustice and misinformation.

Things like releasing “SIMPLOT” with FS on Jungle Sky, and in 2000 assisting Datcyde with a remix of NYC jungle anthem “Naughty Ride” featuring MC Blaise on Taciturn, releasing her debut mix CD, Resonance, which yielded “Mr Fix It” with Ming & FS, and “Picture This” with DJ Seen, and a remix of Le Tigre’s “Dyke March 2001,” collaborating with Jon (S), Sense, MC Dino and DJ Swamp on an full length album of breaks and drum & bass that she hopes to release later this year, and in March 2006 releasing her remix of Disorder’s “Deadline” on Acumen Records. Yeah, I totally don’t know what any of that means, but my press release guru Liliana, who actually brought her DJ decoder ring today, says that DJ Reid basically “laid fat tracks with multiple artists and continues to ride the sound waves toward becoming a true mixing legend of our time.” Yeah, what she said.

[HOLIDAY] Personally, I’ve always referred to this as the Year of the Pig. This is because my mom was born in the Year of the Pig and it really pisses her off. She’d much rather be born in something cool-sounding, like, the Year of the Tiger, Horse, or even the Rooster. But no… she’s destined to a life sprinkled full of pig jokes. People born in the Year of the Pig tend to be great groomers, are generous and trustworthy, meticulous and like to wallow around in all of their fancy stuff. Pig people are smart—smart enough to know that people are making oink-ing noises behind their back.

Hilary Clinton, Arnold S c h w a r z e n e g g e r, John McEnroe and the Dalai Lama are all pigs. Oh, and my mom. My mom is a pig. [LB]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY COLE@MAUITIME.COM

Unpleasant Junk Schumacher pulls the plug on Jim Carrey’s career Director Joel Schumacher, who gave us the stinkers 8MM and The Phantom of the Opera, has somehow managed to hit a new low with debut screenwriter Fernley Phillips’ hackneyed script about a could-be killer obsessed with a pulp murder novel.

Riddled with fetid clichés and plot holes the size of the La Brea tar pits, the bipolar movie largely is read aloud to the audience by Animal Control Officer Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey).

The Number 23

★★★★★ (Zero Stars)

Rated R/95 min.

Walter leads an idyllic small town existence with his complacent pastry chef wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and their teenage son Robin. While waiting in a bookstore, Agatha speed-reads an obscure thriller called The Number 23 by Topsy Kretts (get it—“Top Secrets”) that she buys for Walter on his 32nd birthday. Although it only takes Agatha a few minutes to read the book that relates the number 23 to all things evil, it takes Walter days of anguish to get through the story of a tattooed private detective named

Fingerling (Carrey) who stabs his sex freak girlfriend Fabrizia (Madsen) to death.

Afraid that he will kill his wife in the same manner, the suggestible Walter spirals into a fit of paranoia that culminates in an idiotically contrived climax involving a grave-digging sequence with his son. Sniggers of audience disapproval will follow.

The filmmakers weigh heavy on flashing out countless examples of the “23 enigma” that equates the earth’s axis (“off by 23.5 degrees”) with the Titanic’s April 15, 1923 sinking (4-15+12=23). A blood-soaked parchment links arbitrary events and facts to the number that Walter soon relates to as the mark of the devil (666).

The first third of the picture is dedicated to creating suspense around the numerical phenomenon that drives Walter to take a Sharpie to the walls of his kitchen. You know something is amiss with Agatha when his illegible mural of scribble doesn’t proHey voke her to question his sanity.

Robin instantly agrees with his dad’s conspiracy theory, even if his place in the movie never takes hold as a secondary character of merit.

Agatha seems to have a hand in orchestrating Walter’s descent into hell. Some of

rious actions are never explained. The screenwriter attempts to create a Rosemary’s Baby kind of background paranoia with Agatha and her omnipotent professor friend Isaac (Danny Huston), sharing what seems like a conspiratorial relationship aimed at Walter.

Schumacher calibrates detective Fingerling’s trashy novelwithin-a-movie subplot in grainy color-drained film stock that looks and feels like a wellfunded student film. The small town private eye inexplicably arrives at the obviously phony apartment of a “suicide blonde” to find his femme de fetish standing with a noose around her neck.

He babbles on about how most of these attempts fail because women don’t know how to tie a proper knot so that the victim ends up walking around with a scar for a necklace. The book subplot involving the number 23 isn’t just a barren abstract reality; it knocks the bottom out of Walter’s anxiety because it’s so flimsy.

Cable Guy! Play something by Coltrane!

Carrey seems capable of doing serious drama in spite of his long career committed to comedy, but he’s too oddly likable to Agatha’s actions, like moving a corpse and play a killer. In any event, Carrey should prematurely knowing Topsy Kretts’ real stay away from Joel Schumacher for identity, point to her as a black widow good. MTW antagonist. However, her Agatha’s myste-

BY SAMANTHA CAMPOS SAM@MAUITIME.COM

‘Big Bangin’ Away’ How Wes “Scoop” Nisker breaks down The Big Bang, The Buddha, and The Baby Boom Wes “Scoop” Nisker is a journalist, radio DJ and teacher of Buddhist meditation and philosophy. He is also author of the book The Big Bang, The Buddha, and The Baby Boom, an autobiographical romp through spiritual trends, blocks and discoveries.

The book is hilarious, smart and has just enough skepticism to hold the attention of people who have not yet joined the ranks of “cosmic Oneness.”

I appreciated its candor and decided I had to talk to Nisker myself.

MAUI TIME WEEKLY: I have a major problem managing time. How do you think Buddha would view procrastination?

WES NISKER: I think Buddha would say don’t procrastinate when it comes to understanding yourself, your true nature. You

shouldn’t chastise yourself for being.

It might be part of your character.

You’re perfectly human, meaning you have to accept yourself.

What fatal flaw has Buddhism helped you with?

Painful self-consciousness. Who am I? How am I doing? Am I winning? Good enough, handsome enough? When I started reading about Buddhism it made a lot of sense to me, starting with the first noble truth. To begin with that, it sort of undercuts our idealism, the sense that we can live happily ever after. That appeals to especially people of my generation, who thought we could fix it all, but it wasn’t working out that way.

So there was a real beauty to the Buddhist philosophy with its central teaching about identity and self, that you are not separate, not isolate—you arise with all things. You really do begin to experience yourself in a different way when you meditate. You pay attention to your breath, you really being to experience that as a part of your identity, as a breathing organism, you become a cell in a great breathing of earthly life. It shifts your identity from the psychological to the biological.

You come down from the story of your life to the facts of your life.

It’s going back to the basics. Meditation practices is eco-spirituality—it

is an environmentally good practice to do, it brings us back to aliveness, the essence of who we are, and increases a reverence for the rest of life. As earthlings, we can dissolve our individual drama. We are one with all the other creatures on this planet. I think Darwin and Buddha would’ve gotten along fabulously.

What advice would you give to beginners on a similar spiritual journey?

Patience is a virtue. I think the most important thing is to realize you are perfectly human. This is a whole new game in the human experience—trying to tame your mind and understand yourself in these deeper ways is new. Don’t expect to create changes right away, and be kind to yourself, not

judgmental. One of my mantras is “You are not your fault.” MTW

Wes “Scoop” Nisker Saturday (Feb. 24), 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Mana’o Radio; Sunday (Feb. 25), 3-6 p.m. at The Studio Maui, Satsang with Ram Dass.

Wes ‘Scoop’ Nisker Excerpted!

Yes, we’re Big Bangin’ away, doing the subatomic shuffle here in this human form, human life. And we try to put a good face on it, make out that life is sweet, beautiful, serve some higher purpose. But it’s also easy to have a relatively dark, cynical attitude. I’ve been struggling with it all my life—I consider myself a cynic in recovery…

That’s why I love the Buddha so much. You know, he states it right at the beginning of his teaching. First noble truth: Life is full of pain and suffering and disappointment and dissatisfaction. And especially if you take it too seriously or take it too personally, which is why it can be a great relief to hear this first noble truth because then you realize it’s not just you that isn’t getting it all together and

getting it right. You have not been singled out for a special punishment…

We don’t get to choose our body, we don’t get to choose our personality, we’re not free to be who we are. We’re forced to be who we are. And you’re not told why you’re here, or what you’re supposed to be doing while you’re here. And you’re given just enough consciousness to know that you do exist and that someday you will die, which you very much don’t want to do…

As Wavy Gravy says, ‘If you don’t have a sense of humor, it’s just not funny.’

I think Nietzsche put it well, too. He said, ‘God’s only excuse is that he doesn’t exist.’

(From Wes Nisker’s The Big Bang, The Buddha, and The Baby Boom audio CD)

EAR SHOT

BY ELIZA ESCAÑO ELIZA@MAUITIME.COM

The Newest Addition to Our APR Collection ALOE BLACC “SHINE THROUGH” [R&B/HIP-HOP] Much like fine wine and heartbreak, Shine Through’s Latin- and Afro-flavored tunes get better over time. It initially strikes as too shifty a composition, with each track serving a loose blend of soul, salsa, dancehall, calypso, roots, folk, electronica and hiphop. But squash the need to classify and one would find a sound that is complex, and reflects a certain freedom only found nowadays in deeply rooted, independent endeavors.

After all, so what if it’s emo-techno-Gregorian-bluegrass, as long as it drives party people to cut some serious rug?

The Panamanian-born Aloe Blacc produced most of the album, which debuted on Stones Throw Records last year. The off-kilter, culturally relevant Southern California label is best known for funk and soul artists like Breakestra and Dudley Perkins, and indie hip-hop faves Madlib, Peanut Butter Wolf, Lootpack and the late Jay Dee. No stranger to hip-hop, Aloe first began his music career as an MC and the other

half of Emanon. But in his solo effort he manages to develop a groove that is soulful, sensual and ahead of his mainstream peers. Already having garnered some iconic comparisons from music critics and nods from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson, the album buzz also earned him a “Liquid Love” remix for the Roy Ayers Virgin Ubiquity Remixed project.

Shine Through kicks off with melodious synthesizers in “Whole World,” followed by a bevy of dance floor bangers, bedroom rockers and raw Latin rhythms. “Long Time Coming” is a distant rendition of a Sam Cooke 1960’s classic, “A Change is Gonna Come.” Dancehall vocals wrap up broken-beats inspired “Are You Ready” while Aloe does a sparsely digital treatment over buttersmooth vocals in “Arrive,” written about a lover’s moment before climax.

It’s officially been added to my APR collection, as in Audio Panty Remover—a term I regretfully did not originate. “Want Me” doesn’t get the same accolades, however, spoiled by rap vocals at the end that constitute of “This ain’t a love song; I’m trying to put it on you.” I admire the candor but it’s not exactly sexy. But he does redeem himself with the poignancy of “Inna,” produced by label mate Madlib; percussion-rich “Patria Mia,” an ode to his Panamanian roots, and “I’m Beautiful,” a lovely ballad dedicated to his young niece.

“Caged Birdsong’s” stripped down bass line and heavy lyrical lashing are inspired by a Maya Angelou novel. One of the two bonus tracks is “Gente Ordinaria,” a beautiful, salsa remix of John Legend’s “Ordinary People,” which I have sheepishly grown to like more than the original. The classic layers of trumpets, percussions and sweet Spanish vocals give the arrangement an instant vintage feel. —Stones Throw Records 2006 For more info, visit aloeblacc.com or myspace.com/aloeblaccmusic.

SIGNLANGUAGE

CAERIEL CRESTIN SIGN.LANGUAGE.ASTROLOGY@GMAIL.COM

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Scientists have discovered that the universe is empty. Matter—no matter how solid it feels to us—is actually mostly empty space. To me that points to it at least being possible that life is merely an insanely complex simulation or game. I think you’d benefit from temporarily positing that my theory’s possible, because you’re taking life just a bit too seriously. Perhaps thinking of it as a kind of game (and one which you could start over, if you like) might help you relax so you could do what you’ve got to do. Try that, this week.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Among my friends, the ones who take it easy actually party more than the ones who consider themselves hardcore. These moderate partiers manage to go out a few nights a week for several hours each time, calling it a night before things get too crazy. The hardcore ones stay up all night, and the next days recovering. The take-it-easy crowd end up putting in 15 hours a week living it up, while the hardcore ones do 8-12 (and only remember 5). I know you crave intensity and the variety of experience. Might it be possible that your route to maximum intensity and variety is the moderate one, at least right now?

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Dramatically restricting their diets has extended rats’ lives. People are trying it, too. It wouldn’t be such a terrible idea if it weren’t such a hardship and if it protected you from other things that might kill you. Sometimes the “cure” is worse than the ailment. I’d suggest to the calorierestriction crowd that living well for 70 years might be better than starving for 100. Could that be the case for you as well? This week, consider the possibility that your “problem” is easier (and more pleasurable) to live with than its solution.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Like you, I’m not especially shy. If I’m interested in someone, I have no problem expressing it; my occasional problem, perversely, is taking an interest in anyone at all. That’s right, I can be a bit of a snob. Don’t sneer; you can be, too. Call it “having standards,” if you want. There’s nothing wrong with that, only that your standards are too narrow. You should hold out to have only great people in your life. However, your concept of what “great” is has dramatically limited the kind of people you let into your life, to your own detriment. Revise your definition, fast.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Because you feel everything so intensely, you put up a barrier between yourself and the world.

Consequently, those “within your shell” get a completely different version of you than those stuck outside it. It’d be sad if they walked away based on that inaccurate assumption. They’d be interested in the “real you,” if only they could see it. I’m not suggesting you remove your protective shell entirely—but this week a revealing crack or chink might be in order.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) I admire your desire to be direct and candid. Sometimes, however, a little song and dance before you cut to the chase might be a good idea. Flirtation and romance thrive on mystery, after all. It may be refreshing when someone lays their cards on the table, but it’s not terribly romantic. Don’t start lying, though. I’m simply suggesting that exercising your powerful honesty isn’t always your best option. Sometimes—like this week—just keeping your mouth shut is the best thing you can do.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) I have a friend in his late 20s who’s still never had a drop of alcohol or taken drugs not prescribed by a doctor. I ascribe to a different school of thought, one that values experience, but I still wouldn’t suggest he take up drinking or doping now. Once you’ve invested that much time in something—no matter how pointless it may seem now—it would be a shame to just blow it. You may be ready to move on with a big change. Don’t screw it up by not valuing where you’ve already been. If you’re a granny-virgin who’s over it, don’t just hook up with the first person who’ll have you. Hold out a little longer, and do the damn thing right.

VACATION RENTALS CLEAN, AFFORDABLE

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Yoki s • Custom Dresses & Gowns • Custom Bridal Gowns • Lingerie • Alterations

No other sign is quite as marriage-oriented as you, Libra. But it might not be quite the right time in your life to actually get hitched. I just went to a fake wedding party last night, in which everyone wore mock-up versions of the outfits they might wear to their actual weddings (there were a lot of tiaras). It was good fun, and it made me think of you; playing at marriage right now might be a blast (a lot more fun, actually, than the real thing would be). In fact, this would be a good week to do a test run for whatever you’re thinking of taking on in the near future. You might find out you hate (or love) it.

I live on the top floor of my elevator-less building; when I’m delivered a package, the guy who drops it off always gives me attitude, dramatically huffing and puffing as he comes up the steps and otherwise complaining about, you know, having to do his job. I feel for the guy, I do—but only to a point. It is, after all, what he signed up for when he filled out the job application and petitioned to deliver packages for a living. You’re getting exactly what you signed on for, too. Don’t bitch about it.

Everything has a season and all that. One of my friends contends that one of the most significant facets of life is timing, and one of the ones that’s least controllable. A farmer wouldn’t usually consider sowing her field during an ice storm. Nor should you venture out in such inclement (metaphorical) weather. In general, I believe in making your own moments, especially when there’s something unpleasant that you nevertheless must do. But in this case, waiting a while— at least until this storm has passed, for example—might be the best call.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) This is a good week to indulge in simple animal pleasures. I’m not suggesting you spend your evenings picking nits our of your most hirsute friend’s back hair, but more that you relax and enjoy a glass of wine, a chocolate brownie, a hot bath, some wintry cuddling—that kind of thing. Don’t overthink things. Keep it simple is the name of the game this week, and pursuit of pleasures that are easily. Here’s a hint: if your dream or goal involves more than two or three steps or takes longer than a day to set up, you’re probably trying too hard.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I’m guessing you were a salmon in your past life, considering how powerful your urge to swim upstream is. Driving the wrong way up a one-way street, however, is not really the best plan you could come up with, as exciting as it might be for a minute or two. I’m not suggesting you simply go with the flow. Not you. But finding a way to head in the direction you wish without risking a million head-on collisions is your main goal this week. Perhaps you could try hopping out of the stream entirely?

On the Wings of Love

Sweet Life Fruit Co.

All my past boyfriends have had bizarre quirks I’ve had to accept or at least tolerate. One boyfriend watched Shawshank Redemption daily, and was obsessed with Neil Diamond.

Another was a chronic masturbator. And yet another was a flier—of kites. He would insist on taking me to kite festivals, conventions and stunt kite tournaments, and even gave me a kite of my very own—mostly, I think, so I wouldn’t have to touch his.

So I’ve come to find out recently that the new boyfriend has a special quirk, too. It’s an especially disturbing one for me.

He likes birds.

I think they’re fowl.

When he brought home the cockatiel, I squawked. I just don’t believe birds should be pets—or caged, for that matter. I think they’re dirty, loud, smelly and unaffectionate. I see nothing worthwhile about them being domesticated. I told the bird so, but it simply turned its back on me.

I informed the boyfriend we wouldn’t be keeping it. Begrudgingly, he acquiesced. “Just give me a week,” he said.

But then he took the thing out of its cage to perch it on his shoulder like some ghetto pirate, and the damn bird began nuzzling him. It even made these little cooing noises, which pleased my guy greatly. When they began tongue-to-beaking each other, I walked away.

I felt bad. I certainly don’t want to deprive my dude of something that makes him happy.

But, like, ewwww.

I decided over the next week I would go on a covert mission to find something to like about birds, something that would make me tolerate having one in my home. I started with The Pet Shop at the Maui Mall. I emailed them, asking about the benefits of birds.

“People are generally very surprised to discover how intelligent birds truly are,” wrote John Guard, “and, if it’s a young bird, how amazingly friendly they become. It’s really very easy to become incredibly attached to them. I believe if you give your new cockatiel a chance, you’ll fall in love with him/her.”

Good to know but I wasn’t quite convinced. So I did the unthinkable and joined an online open forum for birdbrains and enthusiasts called www.BirdBoard.com. And then I chirped my plea.

“I have a little bit of a problem here, bird lovers—I’m not one. Yet. But it seems my boyfriend desperately wants a cockatiel. Please help me understand the joys you all seem to feel for these creatures!”

The response was overwhelming. Doyle’sMommy from Atlanta, GA was the first to reply: “When I got my first bird I never knew how affectionate and loving they can be!” she wrote.

“I admit the first week was really tough, they are a lot of work—keeping cages clean, fixing fresh food, etc. But the first time Doyle fell asleep on my chest my heart was his. Here was this tiny little creature who should be terrified of me and who instead trusts me enough to turn over on his back and fall asleep on me. We have had dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, but nothing compares to the love and trust of a bird. It’s a bond that can’t be explained unless you live it yourself.”

Copper was more illustrative about his/her love.

“Picture if you can, the first child born,” s/he wrote. “You go through months of waiting and preparation, the pain of birth. Then there is this wonderfully formed little being that needs you, as much as you want him. You forget the pain, because you are holding this precious gift, and even years down the road, you will remember the first times… the first look of love and trust, the first steps… and there will always be love, even if they tick you off.”

Aw, that’s so… strange. But sweet. And then “gbird” from Castle Rock, CO described his love for his budgie, “Pita.”

“I’ve learned patience that I never thought I would have,” he wrote. “Even when he pooped on my PC monitor and shorted it out then said, ‘good boy?’ I couldn’t be mad at him. He’s my best friend.”

I read on.

“Hi and welcome to the board!” wrote {raddaughter}. “There are so many ups and downs of parronthood. If I had to describe them in a human form, they would be a toddler-teen. They are adorable but do throw hissy fits and get angry for no apparent reason at times.”

“And they live longer than most pets,” wrote ROYJOY from Salt Lake City. “I’m 58 and my new Sun Conure, Tiki, is nine months old and will surely outlive me.”

Awesome.

“Once they love you it’s there forever,” wrote RingneckedPrincess from California. “It is a deeper bond, at least for me, than any cat or dog I ever had.”

“I love the fact they live so long!” wrote {raddaughter}. “When I had two of our puppies die I realized that Harley was there, and she would be for a long time. I have appreciation for all life, but the fact parrots live so long is a comforting thought.”

By “long time” do you suppose they could mean “a week?”
